More Personal Antivirus Fake or Scareware Sites

Paul

As I am Looking through some sites I find out about:
personalantivirus3

As you know [intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus is Scareware[/intlink] and is not a real [intlink id=”2205″ type=”page”]Antivirus Software[/intlink] like the ones I have on my website.  This tries to scare you into buying there fake software then does nothing to protect the user.

The Following Sites have been identified to be Associated with Personal Antivirus:

  • totalvirusscanc3.com

  • antivirusbestscanv5.com

  • liveantivirusinfov2.com

  • proantispywarescanv3.com

And All of these are ready to be used and probably will be used in the next coming weeks.  If you feel you have one of these scarewares on your computer I recommend downloading SUPERAntiSpyware and remove this this scareware from you system..

RECOMMENDATION : [ad#SUPERAntiSpyware]

Remember these are online and you shouldn’t go these sites because of the possibility that they will redirect you to the a Trojan or Malware URL.  You best bet is to stay clear of them.

Techworld has published an article that describes how the AV Vendors are compiling a Whitelist of AV Vendors who are really trying to keep there users safe and not trying to ‘[intlink id=”3805″ type=”post”]Scare[/intlink]’ the user into buying a rogue look a like.  They’ve published a Preliminary set of real Antivirus Softwares along with there Company:

CCSSParticpiation

As you can see there are at least to that are not listed.  I’ve contacted [intlink id=”3884″ type=”post”]SUPERAntiSpyware[/intlink] about this and they turned right around and started to ask to be added and should be Added in the coming months.   The other is [intlink id=”3851″ type=”post”]Malwarebytes[/intlink] and I am hoping they jump aboard and get in contact with this forum.

The Guys over at [intlink id=”3884″ type=”post”]SUPERAntiSpyware[/intlink] were really grateful that I came across this.   This list will soon help fight the [intlink id=”3918″ type=”post”]SCAREWARE Tactics[/intlink] of the Cyber Criminals.   Truth of the matter is educating oneself and doing a little bit of research can help you determine if the program or company is real or just another rogue company out there.   If your looking for some good Antivirus Software check out my [intlink id=”2205″ type=”page”]Antivirus Page[/intlink] and see some of the FREE Antivirus Software out there that can help protect your system.

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

Paul

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.

Antispy.microsoft.com is another Scareware

Paul

It looks like the people who invented “[intlink id=”3805″ type=”post”]Antivirus System Pro[/intlink]” have made another site looking like it was a Microsoft site:

Antivirussystempro1

It looks like they use hijack your host file and inseart “Antispy.Microsoft.com” to the host file  with the IP address of “209.44.111.62”  There is no real website at Microsoft with that url so if you get this you have a some kind of trojan or virus on your system.   By using the domain name of Microsoft.com the chance that people will believe this is actually from Microsoft and buy this fake software is higher than with it having its own domain.

[ad]They seem to have incorporated the [intlink id=”3872″ type=”post”]Site Adviser Scareware tactics[/intlink] these tactics seem to be a new way for them to look Official almost like they are the read deal and should there for be taken for the REAL Thing.   You should [intlink id=”3884″ type=”post”]Download SUPERAntiSpyware[/intlink] and See if you can find the problem.   If that doesn’t work you can always remove this threat manually.

This has the same ideas as the “ITsecure.Microsoft.com” Malware, they both look like they are from Microsoft and have modified the host file but are really Scareware trying to trick you into buying there fake antivirus and you would be loosing money.   I would recommend you checkout my [intlink id=”2205″ type=”page”]Malware resources[/intlink] and find out what I recommend to prevent this from the future.
