A gang that made more than $72m (£45m) peddling fake security software has been shut down in a series of raids.

Co-ordinated by the FBI, the raids were carried out in the US, UK and six other countries.

The money was made by selling software that claimed to find security risks on PCs and then asked for cash to fix the non-existent problems.

Are these the gits behind the Windows "Security Suite" rogueware?

I really hope so, as I'm tiring of sorting them out for people.
