Scareware and Bill Cosby's Death Rumor

"A false rumor that Bill Cosby, 72, was found dead by his wife in his chair, circulated on the internet over the weekend. The incident sent a large number of users searching for additional information on the Web, which in turn made it appealing for cyber-criminals to exploit" (SOFTPEDIA)

The objective is bascially that online predators get you to download fake antivirus software, also known as scareware. then once that nonsense installed it continues to display
alerts about fake infections advising the owner to acquire a license in order to remove the fake malware out of their computer.

Bill Cosby himself said
on his official website. "As you well know, a dead person cannot rebuttal. Therefore, I am rebuttaling to tell you that when I heard the news I immediately began rebuttaling and wentinto denial. My wife has just informed me that there is no such word as rebuttaling, she says the word is rebutting. But I don't care, because I'm alive!"

Well my boy Cosby aint dead with the dying, and the heart attack, and the pudding pops and the a-ha-ha-ha. Stay strong Cosby!
