How to remove System Cleaner and Hardware Doctor fake security program
24.05.2009 | Malware Type: Fake Security Programs
Malware Description:
System Cleaner and Hardware Doctor (aka System Cleaner) is an infamous fake security product that has been rapidly spreading throughout the online world lately. System Cleaner and Hardware Doctor is marketed as a “2 in 1” solution that claims to protect one’s privacy and secure the internet activities; and, on the other hand, also servers as a system optimization tool that prevents HDD crashes and diagnoses the hardware. Too bad none of the above alleged capabilities of System Cleaner and Hardware Doctor is true. System Cleaner and Hardware Doctor propagates mainly via browser-hijacking techniques, i.e. it uses trojan viruses to redirect people’s web-surfing to its numerous affiliate websites that recommend purchasing the program. System Cleaner and Hardware Doctor is currently using the following malicious websites to get promoted: advanced-anti-virus.com, advanced-antivirus.com, antimalwarewarrior2009.com, antispyware-solutions.com, antiviral-softtools.com, antivirus-buy1.com, antivirus-cs1.com, antivirus-research-lab.com, antivirusmaster2009.com. Please, avoid the above websites and check your system for browser-hijackers if you hit one of them at least once. When installed and active, System Cleaner and Hardware Doctor will usually use fabricated scanners and fake alerts to tell you how affected your computer is. As a way to resolve these “detected” issues, System Cleaner and Hardware Doctor will offer its “licensed” version which demands payment; and that’s exactly what the program is about – to spoof people into wasting their money for purchasing the worthless commercial version of System Cleaner and Hardware Doctor. Please, refrain from installing that program and check your system for its presence if you suspect to be having it on board.
How to remove Worm.Fontra.F infection
23.05.2009 | Malware Type: Worms
Malware Description:
Worm.Fontra.F (aka Fontra F Worm, W32/Fontra-F or Virus.Win32.Fontra.c) is a computer infection that propagates through security exploits and endangers the compromised Operating System and the data stored on the infected PC. Worm.Fontra.F tends to replicate to shared folders available through use of the popular P2P file sharing providers, e.g. BearShare, Limewire and a few others. When inside the target computer, Worm.Fontra.F does the following: it spots multimedia files in the shared folders and substitutes those media files with its zip archive, with the worm embedded in it. It’s interesting that Worm.Fontra.F tends to leave the denomination of the original file even after replacing it – it’s done in order to prevent security products from detecting it. When Worm.Fontra.F integrates itself with the compromised system through the method described above, it may contaminate executable files and promote other malware onto the computer. Worm.Fontra.F can open security gateways for rogue anti-spyware, trojans, keyloggers and other worms to infiltrate the PC bypassing system authentication. Since Worm.Fontra.F is a major contaminant and guides other malware onto the compromised machine, its malicious activity may end up putting the victim’s private data at risk, not to mention the computer performance issues that may arise. In addition to the file-sharing intrusion tactics, Worm.Fontra.F may as well spread via spam e-mail attachments and via malicious contagious scripts on insecure websites you may visit. To cut the long story shot, Worm.Fontra.F should be immediately removed if detected on one’s PC.
