There is a hoax going around on Facebook about a bad application called “Unnamed App.”  This is leading people to Google for information on it which is turning up results for Rogue Anti-Virus.  These Rogue Anti-Virus applications try to trick you into installing them by claiming your computer is infected with a variety of malware.

Credit goes to Peter Kruse for finding this issue.
