    Fake Antivirus Removal

    You surf quietly over the Internet and suddenly y a warning jumps out at you saying we have found viruses and spyware on your computer. Click here to get rid of. Unless you are certain that this message from your antivirus, it is most likely a scam. For a fee this types of fake antivirus urge you to install security software to get rid of the alleged intruders. However, it is bogus. Don’t be a catch.

    The method used by hackers to impose their malware as antivirus is usually the same: a window in the form of pop-ups and alerts the user to the presence of viruses on his computer, with the aim of do panic and then push to install malicious software. Recently, the false anti-virus sites have evolved using JavaScript more complex, capable of faithfully imitate the Windows interface, says the report. In some cases, the fake antivirus detects even the version of operating system, and adjusts its interface accordingly.

    Antivirus Soft is a fake antivirus. It is a rogue anti-spyware. You can also say it as ransomware program. You must not add this on your system. It belongs to the family of Antispyware soft. There is a similar fake antivirus or I can say belongs to same family which is known as AVSecurity Suite. This virus is a copy of Soft Antispyware and Antivirus Suite. AV Security Suite is usually installed by using a Trojan horse, which is usually downloaded while surfing the web. AV Security Suite will block all applications except if the filename of the executable application is firefox.exe or iexplore.exe from AV Security Suite is not blocking Internet Explorer or Firefox.

    According to the software vendor Panda Security, there are more than 7,000 variants of fake antivirus and antimalware installed in more than 30 million computers. Users who fall for it will pay on average $ 90 via credit card, which is the monthly income of 17 million dollars to the fraudsters.

    Some Quick Prevention:

    • Install the plug-in McAfee SiteAdvisor to your browser; it indicates the level of security of the sites you visit. So you can see whether they are known to distribute malware or send spam, for example.
    • Keep your operating system and software updates.
    • Use a firewall, antivirus and anti-spyware.
    • Go on Wikipedia and get a list of bogus software

    Ransomeware:

    A ransomware is a malware that hijacks personal data by encrypting it or blocking access. The author of ransomware asked for a ransom to the owner of the data in exchange for the key. It is a form of extortion, mail that is imposed by a malicious program on a user who holds personal information. If it refuses to pay, it can no longer access its data. The ransoms range from $ 10 and $ 300 and must be placed on a PayPal account or eGold. It comes in the form of fake antivirus on your system.

    This type of malware is sometimes listed as a Trojan. During the last years it was primarily the business. Mail recently, new ransomware appeared and they started to target workstations and individual users. Security Labs Sophos recently reported the emergence of a new software for ransom: the Troj / Ransom-A. It "removes" one of your files every thirty minutes and put in a hidden directory. The computer also displays dialog boxes and popups containing threatening messages.

    Kaspersky Labs said that for example the latest encryption key based on the virus to ransom Gpcode were coded on 660 bits, for a simple computer with a 2.2GHz CPU would require thirty small working years. It is of course a simple image of Kaspersky to make it clear to everybody that if the keys are more complex still in the future it is likely that this technique meets an unexpected success ransom for pirates. Will there be a variant of Folding @ Home to solve all these problems.
