Internet Security 2013 Scareware and You!

Paul

Interesting Story

My Brother-in-Law had this come up on his computer and he needed help getting it removed.  Some of the symptons were it would constantly say the file being executed had a virus and it would prevent you from loading any and all programs.   Anything you do with your computer whether trying to remove this from your desktop was a hassle.   I did have to do some things to remove it but I will talk about that in a few minutes!

Malwarebytes And SuperAntispyware!

If it was for Malwarebytes and SuperAntispyware, this would of been even harder remover than previous.  I must say when I first install these a few years back, I didn’t know how well these guys worked and kept my system clean.   I decided to try these two on my broather infected system to try to remove this scareware.

Removal of this virus!

If you are like me you probably used Google to find out how to remove this virus but I think the virus makers are getting smarter because it wasn’t as easy as it was a few years ago.   They made it virtually impossible to find the answer with the computer you have that is infected.   So you have to hope that you have another system to do the searching for the answer of the removal.   Here is what I did to help remove this malware and scareware:

 

  • Startup in Safe Mode [LINK]
  • Login as Adminstrator
  • USE MalwareBytes and do a FULL SCAN, this will take a while and once done remove what you see.
  • Do a System Restore [LINK].  The Earlier the Better.  

 

Once you have did those restart your computer then you should be able to install Malwarebytes to all users.  When you can do that you are basically home free.   Just install it again and do a full system scan, to help make sure you get rid of this scam and scareware malware.  Once you do all this, if Malwarebytes did what you needed, it might be time to upgrade to Buy Malwarebytes Now!

I really am glad I had a full version of Malwarebytes to remove this annoying little scam and scareware.   My brother is happy and I am happy.

List of Scareware Sites for Aug 10, 2009

Paul

When I told you on the last post that today would be a more complete list, I guess I was right:

personalantivirus3

  • antispywareonlinescanv4.com ([intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus Scareware[/intlink])

  • onlinebestscannerv3.com ([intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus Scareware[/intlink])

  • get-rid-of-spyware.com(Possible [intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus Scareware[/intlink] site but is saying 403)

  • best-antivirus-security.com (Clone of [intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus Scareware[/intlink])

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

  • virusscanweb.com ([intlink id=”3114″ type=”post”]WinWebsec Scareware site[/intlink])

  • (I will update during the day as needed)

More than like get-rid-of-spyware.com is the domain they are using right now to scare people into buying or install that [intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus Scareware[/intlink].   Although this won’t help much with those warnings, in fact they will most like just keep hijacking your browser and send you to these pages.   Most of the time they want you to buy there Antivirus and try to persuade you by showing fraudulent software infections on your screen.  These types of software only make money they do not do anything else but to fool the person.   Then there are some sites that just try to alter the look just a little bit to get under the radar!!  You should never download or install software from these types of sites.   They most likely will have trojans, or create an even more scareware situation on the desktop.

personalantivirus3

[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.
