No scareware Thanks from no-spyware-thanks.com

[ad]This just poped up on my radar, and I wanted to let people know about this [intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus Scareware[/intlink] site.  I’ve been talking to another blog about what they have been getting lately it is called “iwishvirusclean.com” Thanks to this blogs post we been talking the last few hours and a comment was left about no-spyware-thanks.com and this site is of course an personal Antivirus scareware.   They try to scare you into buying there product or downloading a trojan that keeps warning you have a virus so they can still make money.  Which on the same ip this domain is also there “securedvirusscan.com”, I will assume this is also [intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus Scareware[/intlink] site.  Also “iwantsweepviruses.com” Is another [intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus Scareware[/intlink] site, which is also on that domain.  This was just told to me but “thankyouforscan.com” is another domain they are using for the [intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus Scareware[/intlink] site.  You should never download or buy anything from these types of sites.   If you think you have a virus or Trojan, I would recommend doing a complete scan and making sure you have no more scareware on your computer.

Malware sites for July 30, 2009

Paul

I just got some news about a few sites:

personalantivirus3

  • husger.info (Scareware, Rogue Antivirus)

  • antivirus-quickscanv5.com ([intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus[/intlink])

  • safe-online-scanner.com ([intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus[/intlink])

These sites are either claiming you have a virus and are considered either URL Redirects or URL Hijackers.   If these sites keep appearing on your web browsing maybe it is time to do a complete system scan and get that spyware off your system.   Some of these Rogue Antiviruses  may even have a security adviser claiming random sites are infected with viruses or Trojans and claiming they are unsafe.  These sites are either wanting you to isntall the software or trying to sell you the fake product, which will do nothing but harm your system.

I saw this come in my way and I thought I would share it:

fakeexplorersecurityhelper

Here is a site that is another scareware attempt from the makers of [intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus[/intlink].   They do this to get money from unsuspecting users who think this will protect there system but the truth of the matter, they are either trying to get you to install even more Malware or buy a program that doesn’t do what it claims.   You should never buy from a site you do not know anything about and you should never install software from a site you have no knowledge of

Threat to System : Critical

Advice : Do a Complete system scan and make sure you don’t have any more hidden malware. This has altered your browser and can be monitoring your system and should be taken off your system. You should consider your system compromised until you clean your system.

Updated list of scareware Sites 7/24/09

Paul

As you have read in my Previous post:

  • [intlink id=”4002″ type=”post”]More Fake Antivirus Sites Pop up[/intlink]

  • [intlink id=”3990″ type=”post”]Don’t Take it Personal, It’s just Fake Antivirus[/intlink]

  • [intlink id=”3964″ type=”post”]More Personal Antivirus Fake or Scareware sites[/intlink]

I figured we would update those list with some more that came out yesterday or Wednesday.   I will probably be keeping this up. This will help people find out domains that should be avoided.

personalantivirus3

So here are a few that I’ve found:

  1. personalfolderscanv2.com

  2. onlineantispywarescanv6.com

  3. onlinevirusscanv9.com

  4. privatevirusscannerv2.com

  5. Windowssecurityinfo.com

All those are [intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus scareware sites[/intlink] that try to convince you that you have a virus and tries to get you to buy a registered copy of this fake Antivirus which does nothing.  They make money by not doing anything.  These sites might also try to get you to install the fake software which in reality is a Trojan, Virus, Or just Malware all together.  You should never install software from sites you don’t know anything about.

More Fake Antivirus Sites pop up

Paul

So in my last post, I talked about [intlink id=”3999″ type=”post”]How you get a computer Virus[/intlink]. Here I will talk about some of the common websites that are host to all those Fake Antivirus:

Homeantivirusfake

  • homeav-2010.com ([intlink id=”3977″ type=”post”]Fake Homeantivirus 2010[/intlink])

  • antispyware-scannerv3.com ([intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Fake Personal Antivirus[/intlink])

  • antivirus-scannerv9.com ([intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Fake Personal Antivirus[/intlink])

  • onlinespywarescannerv3.com ([intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Fake Personal Antivirus[/intlink])

  • onlineantivirusscanv4.com ([intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Fake Personal Antivirus[/intlink])

  • scanriteweb.com ([intlink id=”3713″ type=”post”]Scareware site where it tries to get you to install a fake Antivirus[/intlink])

  • securityscanavailable.com ([intlink id=”3713″ type=”post”]Scareware site where it tries to get you to install a fake Antivirus[/intlink])

As you can see there are at least two sites that try to get you to install a fake Antivirus Software that is really malware.   I am sure the other 3 are doing something similar but might be blocking access to certain website with a [intlink id=”3918″ type=”post”]fake site adviser doing the dirty work[/intlink].

I also recommend checking out my [intlink id=”2205″ type=”page”]Antivirus Page[/intlink] and finding other good Antivirus Software to help battle malware.
