Don’t take it personal, It’s just a Fake Antivirus

Paul

So We come back to a few more examples of Personal Antivirus Scareware sites:

personalantivirus3

So I say don’t take it personal because you probably have those scareware pop ups saying you have a virus. If that is the case paying these fake Antivirus gangs money will not protect your computer. Here are a list of Sites that are Rogue Antivirus:

  • antivirusonlinescanv9.com ([intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus scareware[/intlink])

  • checkyoupconlinev2.com ([intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus scareware[/intlink])

  • 2009antivirpro.com ([intlink id=”3805″ type=”post”]Antivirus System Pro Scareware[/intlink])

  • avremover-pro.com ([intlink id=”3805″ type=”post”]Antivirus System Pro Scareware[/intlink])

  • aviremover-2009.com ([intlink id=”3805″ type=”post”]Antivirus System Pro Scareware[/intlink])

  • antivir-prof.com ([intlink id=”3805″ type=”post”]Antivirus System Pro Scareware[/intlink])

  • antiaware-pro.com ([intlink id=”3805″ type=”post”]Antivirus System Pro Scareware[/intlink])

I call these sites Scareware because there is usually some warning or popup saying you have a virus or a trojan, or even saying something like system alert. You will usually see something like a shield or eve times when the Rogue Antivirus will load up there fake page.  Be sure to check out some of my [intlink id=”2205″ type=”page”]Antivirus[/intlink] Suggestions and decide for yourself.

Remember these fake sites only thrive when you let them.

Personal Antivirus Stash of Sites!! All Scareware

Paul

I went exploring and found some sites that are linked back to each other and here are a few sites that have the same “[intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus[/intlink]” scareware that do the same thing.  These are all just waiting to be used for the purpose of selling you the fake stuff.

personalantivirus3

Sites that are on this IP BLOCK (83.133.123.109) and are exactly the same:

  • [intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]purchuasebestsoftwareonline.com

  • buypremiumsubscription.com

  • ieprotectionlist.com[/intlink]

[ad]Sites with the Site advisers are:

  • [intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]ieprotectionlist.com[/intlink]

  • networksecurityadvice.com

  • [intlink id=”3913″ type=”post”]browsersecurityinfo.com[/intlink]

  • [intlink id=”3872″ type=”post”]securitybrowseradviser.com[/intlink]

And are all active and just waiting to start selling this fake scare at moments notice each one looks like either have or will be used in the future to host the content waiting for people to buy this fake product.  You should check out the other articles in this series and be ready for them when they become active.

It is time to install some [intlink id=”2205″ type=”page”]real Antivirus Software[/intlink] and get these fakes off your system if your infected if not it is still a good idea to have them installed.    I would recommend [intlink id=”3884″ type=”post”]SUPERAntiSpyware[/intlink] to help get rid of these infections if you have them or Keep yoru system from getting these infections.

Another Scareware Adviser Site : browsersecurityinfo.com

It looks like “[intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus[/intlink]” Scareware has [intlink id=”3872″ type=”post”]another Scareware adviser[/intlink] on the same iP: “83.133.123.113”

browsersecurityinfocom1

[ad]It is Hosted on “http://browsersecurityinfo.com/” and Does the same thing the [intlink id=”3872″ type=”post”]other Scareware Adviser[/intlink] does and sponsors “http://ieprotectionlist.com/1/”  Which is also [intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus Scareware site[/intlink] that is host to a few dozen places on other sites.

These Sites try to look like legitimate sites and make you believe these are real but My Advise is that you [intlink id=”3884″ type=”post”]run SUPERAntiSpyware[/intlink] and Remove these scareware virus and other Trojans on your system.  These do nothing but slow your system down and stop you from using the system.  Some of these Fake Antiviruses have also been known to [intlink id=”3876″ type=”post”]not allow you to use real antivirus software[/intlink] so you may have to do it from safe mode.

If you need help removing these spyware manually you can check this article to remove it manually.   Please check out my [intlink id=”2205″ type=”page”]Malware resources[/intlink] to better help you protect your system in the future.   I have a few recommendations on my [intlink id=”2205″ type=”page”]Malware resources[/intlink] to help remove these viruses, trojans, and Malware off your system.

Scareware Adviser from securitybrowseradviser.com

Paul

It looks like I have been added to this website but it is a fake URL Hijacker that wants to sponsor [intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus Just Scareware[/intlink]. Yep you guessed it they are blocking this url from trying to be displayed some of the people are still ignoring the warning and coming to my site  anyways.
securitybrowseradviser1

So the first question is how do I know this is a fake site warning. Well I did my research I went to Phishtank.com and check to see if my URL was being blocked. I also clicked the link to see what this link went “Activate my Web protection software”. It sent me to this site:

personalantivirus2

[ad]As you can see this site “ieprotectionlist.com” calls itself the [intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus[/intlink] and look it even says “Malicious behavior detected”. I start looking for anything about this software no links to contact them or no links to learn more about this product. This is how I know this is a scareware site. If you seem to be getting these warnings it is time to go download[intlink id=”2205″ type=”page”] real antivirus software[/intlink].

[ad]As you can see the Securitybrowseradviser.com is a scareware sponsor for the [intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]fake Personal Antivirus software[/intlink] that it is linking to. So if you getting this it is time to remove it.

I would Recommend SUPERAntivirus Pro although the Free version is good to remove this scareware or spyware. I have found it does find all the programs and where they are located. If you feel like you want to do it yourself be warned that is a cumbersome process and might hurt your system more than letting a program do it for you.

I will be doing a review of SUPERAntivirus Pro in the next few weeks, I do think it does the job plus more. When I do a scan with this product it actually finds more than expected.

Personal Antivirus just scareware

I was going through checking a site brought to my attention from a reader and I went there and yep he told me it might be [intlink id=”3114″ type=”post”]scareware[/intlink] and it was:

mailware-live-pro-scanv1-1

If you click “Cancel” or “Ok” you will still get to this page:

mailware-live-pro-scanv1-2

[ad]It is on the Malicious site : http://maleware-live-pro-scanv1.com.  You can also see it tries to scare you with the tactic of  knowing your IP address and where you are in the world, it’s called Geo-ip Location.   It tries to convince you have a virus, but in reality it is just trying to scam you out of money.   Although if you go to the site you will see that there is no company information.  That is the first clue this is a scam or scareware.

Personal Antivirus gets installed in unsuspecting computers by way of exploits, backdoors, Trojans, or unsafe downloading practices.   This usually means that if you have it you should remove it by any means necessary because this software has been know to cause more and more trouble as time goes by.   This software is fake ware, it tries to tell you have a virus and that they can get rid of it.   In fact, this software is not designed with Antivirus engine in it but to illicit pop ups and warning to raise the users security concerns about the computer in question.   Downloading programs from bit torrents or other unsafe ways can and most likely will have these types of programs installed alongside the program you wanted.

*[intlink id=”4403″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus Scareware Site and How to Remove it[/intlink]*

Threat to System : Moderate

[rating:4/5]

Advice : Do a Complete system scan and make sure you don’t have any more hidden malware. Most of the time if you have one Trojan, you usually have more.  Personal Antivirus has been know to have some type of program installed on the system in question and should be removed.

I recommend :

On a side not, if you are wondering why I think I know I am not infected with these virus for those who are probably asking that question is because I already have a [intlink id=”2205″ type=”page”]dependable free anti-virus[/intlink] software installed.  Don’t forget to visit the Forums for other ways to watch for spyware or scareware.   I will always recommend buying antivirus software from vendors you know and not ones that are fly by the night scams.
