LizaMoon

A scareware that uses SQL injection to force scripts into legitimate website URLs to redirect users to a page warning them that their PCs are infected with malware that can be removed by downloading a free AV application called Windows Stability Center. The software eventually will find bogus threats that will require victims to buy a more robust product, using their credit cards. Hundreds of thousands of website URLs have been compromised by LizaMoon as of early April 2011 in a massive malware attack that tries to trick people into buying fake anti-virus software to remove bogus infections.
