If you get incessant alert messages on your computer
screen about Viruses, Spyware, Adware, Backdoors and
severe system malfunctions, appearing with a yellow
triangle and an exclamation mark in it, you could
be infected with a dangerous Trojan- Downloader. The
pop-ups created by this malware will prompt you to
download a dubious AntiVirus program which does nothing
but harm to your computer.
Security experts at
MicroWorld Technologies inform that ‘Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.cv’
directs computer users to download a rogue software
named Winantivirus.
Using a gamut of false positives, Winantivirus will
make you believe, buy and bring home a perpetual pain
in your lives. Reports even suggest that such programs
themselves install a couple of Viruses into computers
and scare users into buying those products. Its virus
scan and updates are nothing more than an eyewash
to trick unsuspecting victims. Once installed, you
can’t uninstall or remove it using regular methods.
Why install several different programs on your computer,
when you can solve all your daily issues like viruses
and popups with the single amazing solution?- Winantivirus
asks you on its website. The program boasts of being
a combination of Spyware Blocker, AntiVirus, Firewall
and Popup Blocker!
“Slick and stylish promotion is the biggest
strength of Winantivirus,” says Rajashekhar,
Project Manager, MicroWorld
Technologies. “It comes from the same group
of people who produced ‘Errorsafe’ program
that we exposed in the past. The parent of Errorsafe
was Winfixer, and you can find conspicuous similarity
in website design and logos of all these products.
The website has a lot of Windows XP elements in it
with a bold display of Windows logo to decoy users.”
Though the program claims to give you a pop-up blocker,
your strife with pop-ups begins the moment you install
the software. Advertisements of countless products
will haunt you continuously, slowing down your computer
and sometimes leaving you with no option but to shut
the system down.
Winantivirus also works as a spyware that collects
precious personal information from infected computers.
This information can be passed on to marketers of
dubious products or even cyber criminals who use the
same for nefarious activities. Since the program runs
in the background and installs files into system directory,
it also leads to severe stability issues for computers.
“The days when these programs were a mere nuisance
are over. Today, they work as Spywares, Adwares, Identity
Thieves and conduits for Viruses and Trojans. Users
need to be extra cautious about programs that tom-tom
about providing you with one click solutions for all.
One should only go for trusted and time-tested solutions
approved by standard testing bodies of the industry,”
points out Govind Rammurthy, CEO, MicroWorld
Technologies.
