XP Deluxe Protector Rogue

By on June 23, 2009 in Rogue Anti-Malware

A few of my clients have called me this week complaining about this rogue even though they have a completely updated and running copy of Avira Antivirus.

Unfortunately, Avira is pretty bad when it comes to detecting rogues. You can easily remove this rogue antivirus with Malwarebytes or SuperAntiSpyware.

I removed this rogue along with about 20 other minor infections with Malwarebytes 1.38.

    @mat did he have a fire wall like comodo or any thing with a hips that could have prevented that infection?

  • malwarekilla

    @ryan – nah, this guy is about 75yr’s old and anti-virus is already more than he can manage.

    I did teach him how to use Sandboxie, so we’re going to try that.

  • ryan

    ohh yea the new sandboxie i herd that was good.

  • Dieselman

    Sandboxie is not new. I have been using it for years.

  • ryan

    there is a new version…………………………………… please go to the sandboxie page and look for your self they released it not to long ago.

    That looks exactly like WinPC Defender or WinPC Antivirus. Funny how the same thing comes under different names.

    Would Threatfire have blocked the rogues?

    I still like Avira. Updating appears to have been fixed. From what Matt has written (best as I can remember) Avira will get rid of or prevent rootkits. This is an area AVG, Avast and others don’t do well. So Avira is still good for the rootkit problem. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    Now all I have to do is make sure I cover what Avira misses. Currently I have Geswall. Thinking about trying Sandboxie.

    I also have the free version of PrevX. I’m unsure how much less protection it offers over the pay version. Matt, maybe you can offer some info on that.

    Matt and all — Thanks for the comments.

    The problem with rootkits is that if someone wanted to they could make one specially tailored to your pc and you would never know…

    Hey Matt,

    My first time posting here. Just a quick question for you.

    Couldn’t Avira have removed this rogue if set to: early load + High Heuristics + and all Extended Threats enabled?

    I know some AV’s couldn’t even remove these rogue programs but Avira (at least its Premium version which I run on my PC) has fared pretty decent at both AV Comparatives and AV Test org. I know it has been penalized for producing many FPs but its detection rate is always over 98%.

    What Avira settings had that guy whose computer got infected?

    Kind regards,

    Carlos
