Just a “head up”.  I’ve been dealing with this Rogue called “Antispyware Soft” all week.  Antispyware Soft completely takes over the users PC preventing them from opening anything or accessing the internet.  It’s really easy to get rid of, here’s how I do it. Start the PC in safemode with networking (or safemode). Install and [...]

I was just doing my morning email chores when I stumbled across an email from my YouTube account.  This is what it said: s0m3b0de has sent you a message: Your Account is Infected Your YouTube account has been infected with a self mailing worm and will be terminated in approx. 48 hours if malicious activities [...]

I was hammered with a new (sort of) rogue called Vista Smart Security 2010 this week.   As far as I know this an OS specific rogue because I only saw it on Vista boxes.   This rogue is easy to delete, however it comes with an agent that suppresses commercial anti-malware. Here is the MBAM log [...]

Looks like some people in the Avast forum are pissed that I pointed out that Avast missed a Rogue.   Yes, I know Rogues are not technically malicious and are quite hard for an AV to detect, however I personally think that Rogue’s are the MOST malicious applications out there. Rogue’s are designed to steal someones [...]

Now this one is funny. I stopped by Ann’s house last night (one of my clients) and was greeted with a rogue that just made me laugh…Green AV!!! Obviously “going green” is a huge trend right now, so why not have a rogue AV that rides on that green trend. Personally that has to be [...]

Well, I figured I’d see a rogue that is pretending to be Microsoft Security Essentials and here it is. Windows Security Suite is a fake antivirus (rogue) that really registers itself (as an antivirus) in the Microsoft Security Center (first time I’ve seen that). This rogue terminates every user spawned exe except of course for [...]

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 [...]
