"One of the
newest Trojans currently infecting computer systems is again using a name of
Microsoft. This time is comes with a title of Microsoft Security Essentials
Alert which attempts to install some rogue program to the targeted computer
system. It was noticed that Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Trojan can
infect with 5 programs: AntiSpySafeguard, Peak Protection 2010, Pest Detector
4.1, Major Defense Kit or Red Cross Antivirus. Basically, they all are the same
program but it comes under different names.
If you choose to
scan your system with one of the above mentioned programs you will definitely
be infected. Once inside the application will imitate system scan. Then it will
generate a list of supposedly existing files and finally, imitate removing
them. However, this procedure will be fabricated by telling that the program
wasn't able to remove all infections and in order to clean the system
completely you will be offered to purchase a full version of the program.
Besides, if you
are infected with one of the mentioned programs, you will definitely start
receiving security alerts which reads:
Warning!
Database updated failed! Database update failed! Outdated viruses database are
not effective can't guarantee adequate protection and security for your PC!
Click here to get the full version of the product and update the database!
Warning! Running
trial version!
The security of
your computer has been compromised! Now running trial version of the software!
Click here to purchase the full version of the software and get full protection
for your PC!
Ignore such
messages and any scan results by AntiSpySafeguard, Peak Protection 2010, Pest
Detector 4.1, Major Defense Kit or Red Cross Antivirus. These are not reputable
antispyware programs so you shouldn't trust them. Remove fake Microsoft
Security Essentials Alert Trojan and the program that was installed together as
soon as possible."
