I don't think that's quite true. Many are likely paid by FAKE antivirus companies, since the largest number of incidents we see here are browser-based fake antivirus hits, that funnel you to a site looking for your credit card. The vast majority of IP addresses that we see, connected to that scam, are in Russia or Ukraine.
Can you say "Russian Mob"?
