About this tag
On WindowsForum.com, the tag 'rogue' is used in discussions about rogue security software and scams. One thread provides a removal guide for the WindowsActivationUpdate and Active Windows scam, part of the Rogue.Tech-Support-Scam family, which displays fake activation screens. Another thread reports on rogue ESET Smart Security malware, a scareware program disguised as legitimate security software. Additionally, a thread covers Android malware apps on Google's Market, including DroidDream Light, created by the same developers behind previous rogue software. The tag also appears in a political context, referencing a 'rogue leader' comment, but the primary focus is on rogue malware and tech support scams affecting Windows users.
