FUD is an acronym for ‘Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt’ used in marketing to create a need. By creating a need based on FUD, you can then sell a ‘solution’ to mitigate the FUD which you have created.
In this manner, you have created a market based on fear which heretofore did not exist, and you are then selling a solution which was heretofore not required!

Microsoft picked up the art of FUD from IBM, and throughout the '80s used FUD as a primary marketing tool, much as IBM had in the previous decade. (Source: Wikipedia)

Get the Fud Thudmug. Fully undetected. Used to give a meaning that the .exe generated by a Crypter can be fully undetected by all known antivirus. Crypters are programs that inject an executable into another executable and running hidden from the system in runtime or execution time.
