Oooops, I did it Again! APCProtect!

How was your holidays? Did you have a great time? What are you planning for the celebration of the New Year?
Personally, this time wasn't as successful as expected to me. At least I hope to have a better New Year. This time it happened once again to my cousin. He can't stop visiting all the malicious sites. I've been removing all the fake files from his PC and now everything seems to be the past. However, I had to put great effort to get rid of all the traces of the fake software (here is the full list of removal instructions).
If you have been in the same problem, you are welcome to share how was your luck fighting this rogueware.
Sincerely.

Do you Feel it?

Christmas spirit is in the air, at least at my home! Do you feel it?
I hope that all the holidays will be safe and warm for everyone reading my blog.

TheDefend Does Not Defend!

Hi, how was your weekend? I had a Christmas party with my colleagues. At least, I didn't have to work there, just to have fun. And I did, actually.
Still the weekend was spoiled after hearing that I needed to rush to Peter, a friend of mine, to fix his PC because he didn't know what was happening to it.
After switching his PC on, I knew that he is in trouble. He got the infection TheDefend. He said to be on the Internet for the whole Saturday but he didn't visit any maliciuos sites. And he didn't have to...it was enough to update his flash player and he got the infection.
Luckily, I was lucky and had to remove all these files (click here), and his PC was recovered.
This time it was easy. I hope next time will be...oh, there would be no next time! :)

Internet Security 2010 Does Not Guarantee Security at all!

Hello, how was your weekend? Did you have fun? I was in a HELLLLLL

I HAD FUN! Well, it reminded me more of a hell than fun. All the weekend I was fighting with that new rogueware Internet Security 2010 because all my friends and friends on the friends are ALWAYS asking me for help. That happens when you succeed in helping one single time. I don't regret that but sometimes it's a way too much for me. It looks like every weekend I have to work and work, and a little bit more work...
Be careful with Internet Security 2010. That's the main scope of my article. It might make a day or two the whole miserable.
If it's too late and you are infected, know that you can first try to use the removal instructions on xp-vista site (click here) and then, if that doesn't help, you need a more experienced person to aid you.

Are You Feeling Safe in the Internet?

Hi, New week brings new challenges.
Hope all of them are going to be positive :)
I just want to ask you whether you feel safe surfing the Internet? Is your antivirus enough for you? Or you would like more protection? What kind of?

Antivir Rogue Spreading its Poison!

Recently discussed Antivir rogue seems to be one of the top dangers these days. Many people think that Antivir is just Avira's Antivir, although they are TOTALLY wrong. Hackers are thinking of more and more ways to make "green" computer users slip and believe in their fake programs.
I am not sure who hasn't got this rogue on their PCs. My aunt, my uncle, a cousin, and even my brother got the infection as soon as the product became live.
Ted,my cousin, was off the hook just after ending the program on the task manager and getting rod of all the registry keys and files created by Antivir (here is the list in case you need them as well).
However, my aunt had to take her laptop to some specialists. I am not sure she got it back. I will ask her and let you know.
Once again my advice is: pay attention what sites you are visiting! :)

Hackers Playing with Enviroment! Eco AntiVirus 2010!

They are everywhere. It seems that every sphere of our lives is affected by them. This time they changed their perspective to saving the environment.
I am talking of the creators of roguewares which are getting an increasing popularity, although from the negative perspective.
Eco AntiVirus 2010 rogue seems to have tried to attack not only my PC. I was just in time to save it from this threat, although some people weren't as lucky.
As in the xp-vista.com, some people had this application removed very quickly. Read the real post from the site:

"Juan, I just finished removing eco-av from my computer. If you follow these instructions exactly and make sure you go and try to end the process (ctrl Alt delete) in the task manager after you delete the files then it will go away. I had to randomly select which file to delete in the processes. In short, these directions are pretty straight forward. Good Luck."

Isn't it a Computer Mouse?

Funny video :))
