It's the dark side of innovation: how crooks peddling fake antiviras software have gamed the Web in a billion-dollar rip-off. Not long after Prince William and Kate Middleton exchanged vows on April 29, a 1981 wedding portrait of the groom's late mother, Princess Diana, appeared as one of the top three images for people typing the most popular search term on Google that morning: "royal wedding coverage."

The link led to a hacked page on a Web comic book called Kiwiblitz.com, which redirected the browser to another site—one with a domain name from an obscure Australian island territory and hosted in Sweden. That site displayed a realistic-looking program called "XP Anti-Spy-ware" that issued bogus warnings—Your Computer Is Infected! Afew clicks led to a purported solution, for $59.95: a download of a fix that didn't actually exist. Chalk up another success for what's generally known as the "fake antivirus" scam.
