How to remove Antivirfox.com hijacker
30.07.2010 | Malware Type: Browser Hijackers
Malware Description:
Should you ever visit Antivirfox.com website, be advised it is not what is pretends to be. For instance, did you know Antivirfox.com was a home page of Antivir Solution Pro rogue program? We applied the indefinite article before ‘home page’ because there are lots of such main sites supporting this mendacious application. The constantly swapping domains of Antivir Solution Pro are needed for hackers to deploy their targets of pushing their badware most effectively. This fake security utility gradually invades your PC until you are ready to pay for its registration. It displays many alerts and fake security scanners so as to persuade you that your computer is not safe at all and requires urgent fixing. It reports some dangerous infections allegedly picked up so that you go ahead and proceed with purchasing the licensed version of Antivir Solution Pro. Antivirfox.com plays one of the primary roles in this deceptive process. The rogue anti-spyware will be redirecting you to that site on a number of occasions. First of all, it’s going to happen if you fall for one of the bogus ads and click it. Secondly, you may be visiting Antivirfox.com/block.php page upon launching Internet Explorer and attempting to navigate to some web page. By the way, the latter is a fabricated browsing restriction script that notifies you about framed up online risks emanating from the site you are about to visit. One way or the other, you will eventually find yourself on Antivirfox.com/purchase tab where Antivir Solution Pro full version is being distributed. It comes in three variations, each having a different price but equally worthless in the long run. We do know how annoying Antivirfox.com hijacker is, so you’d better get rid of this problem at once. Antivirfox.com and Antivir Solution Pro can be easily removed with the help of the PC defense tutorial supplied below. Make sure you get your computer secured from the malware that’s taking over your system.

28.07.2010 | Malware Type: Browser Hijackers
Malware Description:
Our daily malware analysis has led us to another evidence of corrupt activity of Antivir Solution Pro app which is bogus anti-spyware.

The site under consideration consists of several tabs one of which is determinative in terms of distributing Antivir Solution Pro scam. It advises you purchase the full version of the software concerned. It’s completely obvious that Antispymega.com serves only one function – to promote Antivir Solution Pro’s licensed version. It’s therefore obvious that these related items (the rogue program and the hijacker we’re describing) are accomplices that indulge in the same business. Having Antispymega.com hijacker on board your computer is not pleasurable experience, to put it mildly. You will appear to be cut off the Internet, being able to visit only one site, i.e. Antispymega.com with ‘/block.php’ or ‘purhcase’ attributes.

How to remove Net Protector AntiVirus 2010 rogue anti-spyware
28.07.2010 | Malware Type: Rogue Anti-Spyware
Malware Description:
The first thing that comes to our mind when trying to describe the essence of Net Protector AntiVirus 2010 program is the word ‘bogus’. Indeed, this application has a number of features that hint at malicious nature. For instance, Net Protector AntiVirus 2010 downloader has a trojan virus embedded in it. Also, the most common way to catch this rogue anti-spyware is from fake scan websites you may visit accidentally during a random Internet session. It suffices to click a single option on one of such sites to get your machine contaminated with Net Protector AntiVirus 2010 malcode. It’s easy to tell this scareware on your PC. It will begin reporting some threats that are allegedly inside your system putting it at risk. These will be pseudo security scanners that pretend to check your workstation for unsafe components. Net Protector AntiVirus 2010 also tends to display popup alerts about the supposed interception of computer parasites. As a rule, these so called infections are files or registry entries Net Protector AntiVirus 2010 creates on its own. In other words, this phony AV tool first creates a problem and then claims to help you resolve it. And that’s the main reason why you should not let it stay on your computer. Net Protector AntiVirus 2010 creates another side effect on your PC – it slows the machine down and makes it concentrate its resources on irrelevant things, thus making it weak in terms of resisting real infections lurking on the outside. It’s strongly recommended that you help your computer come clear of Net Protector AntiVirus 2010 fake anti-spyware otherwise it may do some nasty things to your computer and perhaps even make you have to reinstall your Operating System. More details on this issue are supplied right below this post.
How to remove Avmirror.com hijacker
26.07.2010 | Malware Type: Browser Hijackers
Malware Description:
Avmirror.com is a malware-related domain that presents a security risk to the computer it hijacks. Actually, Avmirror.com is not independently functioning infection; it goes side by side with another threat known as Antivir Solution Pro which is a scareware program of high severity scale. The presence of the hijacker we mentioned is manifested on one’s PC in the following way: it drastically restricts the browsing scope and affects the web-surfing destination. In other words, Avmirror.com will be visited regardless of whether you want to hit it or not. This takes place due to some deep system changes deployed by Antivir Solution Pro. This rogue anti-spyware modifies browser settings, distorts Windows HOSTS file and LAN settings. On the output of such manipulations, you will be experiencing inability to navigate to random sites. You will be instead hitting Avmirror.com which, by the way, goes in a few versions. First of all, it can be encountered with a /block.php attribute which turns the hijacker into a fabricated warning page (please see the image below to understand what kind of alert that is). This spoof Internet warning will tell you that you can’t visit the wanted site because doing so may harm your computer. That’s certainly misleading information so you should not fall for it. Avmirror.com/block.php redirects to Avmirror.com/purchase which recommends you buy Antivir Solution Basic, -Pro or –Platinum. These extensions go with all malwares of this family and allegedly denote the license duration and protection strength provided by Antivir Solution Pro software. It’s obvious that registering Antivir Solution Pro is not far-sighted to do because it will neither protect your computer against viruses nor do it any good on the whole. If Avmirror.com hijacker is bothering you with its forcible browser redirects, make sure you remove the originator of this obnoxious activity, i.e. Antivir Solution Pro rogueware and all the components it installed on to your system.
How to remove Antispymv.com hijacker
23.07.2010 | Malware Type: Browser Hijackers
Malware Description:
As Antispymv.com is a hijacker of Antivir Solution Pro fake security software, it is by all means an unwanted thing to have on your computer. Although Antispymv.com looks like a harmless site if you just visit it from a non-infected computer, it turns into a nuisance and a threat if you are hitting it because of malware activity on your machine. You see, Antivir Solution Pro calls forth a number of negative side effects on the contaminated workstation, browser jack-up being one of the most obnoxious of them. The outcomes of this are as follows: browser configuration changes, LAN settings distortion, HOSTS file modification etc. As a result, you will discover that you are unable to visit the sites you want to. Instead, you will keep going to Antispymv.com without intending to. This will be happening when you try to navigate to a random web page and the malware will swap it with a URL of its own. One of the variations of this hijacker is a fake Internet Explorer warning that tells you about some browsing risks which are allegedly preventing you from hitting the targeted domain. You can check out the way this spoof alert looks below (please see the corresponding screenshot). It’s interesting that this IE warning will be showing up even if you are using a different browser. This is the first hint at Antispymv.com/block.php being a falsified script. It simply encourages you to proceed and click a link at the bottom which will lead you to another page – this time it’s going to be Antivir Solution Pro purchase page. Of course you should not fall for that, otherwise you may waste your money and get totally nothing good in return. Antivir Solution Pro is on the list of the ‘wanted’ cybercrime items of today so it goes without saying that you must treat it with caution and certainly refrain from buying its full version. Resolving Antispymv.com hijacker issue means you need to get rid of Antivir Solution Pro trial version which is definitely there. So please follow the instructions provided below this description and give a sigh of relief after the malicious software is gone. Good luck setting your PC free of the unsafe components.
How to remove Antivirus 2010 Security Centre rogue anti-spyware
20.07.2010 | Malware Type: Rogue Anti-Spyware
Malware Description:
The malicious program called Antivirus 2010 Security Centre (aliases: Antivirus 2010 software, Antivirus 2010 Security Center) is taking small yet confident steps towards tricking a growing quantity of web users. This application intercepts non-existent infections on one’s computer and then offers some removal assistance which is not free of course. A characteristic feature of this rogue anti-spyware tool consists in similarity of its GUI with that of Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 software which is one of the global leaders in malware removal and web surfing protection services. So the only decent-looking thing about Antivirus 2010 Security Centre is the impudently scraped user interface, the rest of its traits being a total deceit and annoyance. This program usually spreads with trojan horses that are small and hence stealthy enough to infiltrate almost any computer without the user’s consent and knowledge. When inside, Antivirus 2010 Security Centre embeds itself comfortably into the deep structure of the host Operating System. It means – the malware inserts its own Registry values and therefore gets to control the process of running executables on the targeted workstation. In addition to this, Antivirus 2010 Security Centre creates random files for the following purpose – to detect them later on and label them malicious. This is a part of the scare tactics being employed by Antivirus 2010 Security Centre, just like it is with the rest of the rogue anti-spyware world representatives. Antivirus 2010 Security Centre will be appearing every time you start your computer and constantly popping up some new threat detection reports and alert notifications showing up from the system tray mostly. This is all done for you to get intimidated into activating the license for this nasty software product. But instead of just surrendering to the scam which Antivirus 2010 Security Centre is, make sure you perform a couple of timely steps to get rid of it for good. Here is what you should do (please see below for more information).
How to remove Antispybox.com hijacker
18.07.2010 | Malware Type: Browser Hijackers
Malware Description:
Antispybox.com is a pseudo security-based website that in fact Antivir Solution Pro – a counterfeit antimalware program that has been spreading during the last fortnight with notable rapidity. There is one main reason why you may be visiting Antispybox.com now and again. It’s the malware infection that settled down in your system and made some changes to a number of settings such as proxy and LAN parameters, as well as browser configuration. It’s pretty important to realize that Antispybox.com hijacker alone is not the actual hazard you should beware of. It’s the affiliated rogue program (Antivir Solution Pro) that causes the browser redirect activity which is only a derivative symptom. Now, let’s try to analyze what kind of website Antispybox.com is. An interesting thing is Antispybox.com can be a two-faced domain. As a rule, first you encounter it with a ‘/block.php’ attribute which turns the site into a spoof warning page (see below). The fake warning tells you that if you visit the site you are going to, you may get your computer into jeopardy due to its being unsafe. Of course that’s not a piece of information you can trust – Antivir Solution Pro is only attempting to frighten you into being careless enough to move on and click one of the few options available at the bottom of that page. Antispybox.com/block.php diverts to Antispybox.com proper which recommends you buy Antivir Solution Pro licensed copy. So the idea is as simple as that – to make you purchase the rogueware being impudently pimped through Antispybox.com hijacker. Rule number one – do not venture to deal with Antispybox.com and click any options it suggests. Rule number two – make sure you refrain from purchasing Antivir Solution Pro; remove the malicious software (trojans) from your computer and clear your Registry from the corrupt entries.
How to remove Graffiti-blogger.com hijacker
18.07.2010 | Malware Type: Browser Hijackers
Malware Description:
The other day, a reverse IP analysis of known malware domains took us to Graffiti-blogger.com website. The moment we visited it we realized it was a home web page of Antivirus GT rogue anti-spyware program. Although the domain name structure is not very characteristic of regular malware sites, Graffiti-blogger.com is evidently meant to distribute the payload for the scareware solution we mentioned. It contains some misleading information Antivirus GT, stating that it’s a ‘complete security solution’ that combats all existing viruses and helps protect your identity. According to Graffiti-blogger.com, Antivirus GT features antimalware defense identity theft protection. If we didn’t know what sort of software Antivirus GT is in fact, we could actually fall for what Graffiti-blogger.com tells as the site has a really nice design and looks fairly trustworthy. Also, Graffiti-blogger.com contains a fictitious Support function which can allegedly help you resolve some security issues by sending out a corresponding request to the ‘technical support team’. However, if you can get any assistance through that option – it’s going to be only something like ‘Please register the full version of Antivirus GT, with a money-back guarantee’ and deceptive stuff like that. You should treat Graffiti-blogger.com site with caution. Although we so far have no evidence of Antivirus GT redirecting to Graffiti-blogger.com, we assume this is the destination of this hijacker. So, in case you ran into browser rerouting to Graffiti-blogger.com, you should be careful enough to refrain from pushing options there other than to close the web browser. It certainly goes without saying that buying the software promoted by Graffiti-blogger.com is a bad idea. In case you ran into the site we are describing in this entry, we advise you check your computer for unsafe items such as trojans, in the first place. And remember – Antivirus GT program does not belong inside your PC since it’s a rip-off tool that does nothing good.
How to remove Antispynew.com hijacker
17.07.2010 | Malware Type: Browser Hijackers
Malware Description:
Antispynew.com (or Antispynew.net) is one more web address to avoid visiting as it presents a particular risk to one’s web-surfing. Antispynew.com had been registered by the cyber criminals who invented Antivir Solution Pro rogue software. This program pretends to be a real antivirus tool but is in fact just another cyber forgery. Antivir Solution Pro just scares people into believing something is seriously wrong and amiss with their computers, and then advises that they register its licensed version, which is stated to be a remedy for all those infections. Beyond doubt, Antivir Solution Pro does not really find any threats in actuality – it just mimics that. So we have concluded by now that all such pop-ups are misleading and thus not click-worthy. Some users venture to push the fake alerts triggered by Antivir Solution Pro and eventually get diverted to websites Antispynew.com. There is one more way to visit Antispynew.com – resulting from a browser navigation distortion when a user tries to hit a URL using IE browser. In that case, Antispynew.com will appear to be a bogus warning page telling you about the purported Internet browsing difficulties. This alert page is as phony as the pop-ups and scan reports we have mentioned above. You are quite unlikely to resolve this obnoxious browser diverting issue by just sitting there and closing the browser tab over and over. The problem will persevere and keep occurring unless you get down to malware elimination immediately. Removing Antispynew.com hijacker is not a simple task because it pre-supposes deleting the associated rogue anti-spyware, i.e. Antivir Solution Pro scam. Our removal guide provides an easy and clear method to get rid of Antispynew.com browser hijacker and the related scareware. For a higher degree of cleaning reliability, please boot into Safe Mode with Networking before following the instructions. Additionally, if your browsing appears to be blocked completely, you may try this: open IE, go to Tools, Internet Options, proceed and click LAN Settings. After this, go ahead and untick the ‘Use a proxy server for your LAN’ option. This should help you restore the functionality of Internet Explorer.
