This Binary is Trojan Fake alert. As the name, this virus provide a fake alerts to the compromised user computer. And generates a mirage as if the user computer is highly infected which is really not. Then it will show fake balloon tips during clicked it will ask the compromised user to purchase fake antivirus application. FakeAlert-WinWebSecurity.b will without a sound install and execute a virus scan on the system.

Infection mode
Trojans do not self-replicate. Trojans can able spread manually, often below the idea that the exe is something useful. Distribution channels contain IRC, peer-to-peer networks, newsgroup postings, email spam, etc.
