FreeHugeMovies · 04-13-2011, 08:02 AM

They are hard to remove from your systems as well. I hate them

i'm all for making money most ways but rendering your "customers" computer useless and holding it for randsom is way too close to criminal for me. if you've got to resort to this kind of shit to make money, i feel sorry for you.

Black All Through · 04-13-2011, 08:18 AM

They aren't hard to remove you just have to reboot and access in safemode and block it at starting point, it's just a real pain in the ass, it's happened to me twice already.

I've been wondering the same thing as I just had to remove one the other day that auto downloaded as I browsing a large mainstream site. If I attempted to open any anti malware program to remove it, it would close it. It had a fake image as if it was running a scan and had detected all kinds of malware on my pc, including fake file names like childporn.exe Only way I got rid of it was to google it on another pc and find its registration code to register the program allowing me to open an anti malware program and kill it.

It tries in many ways to force you to purchase the program, and it appeared to have a third party biller set up, I wonder how long they can keep their billing going before it gets shut down. The program was slick and whoever had programmed it had thought of everything, all I could think about was all of the novice pc users that would get duped by it and most likely pay.

yeah i know. i just removed it off my parents machine yesterday and today it happened to me. i didn't even download anything. just clicked a link to a blogspot page...

Aric · 04-13-2011, 08:28 AM

I had to remove it twice last week from family laptops.

It renders the PC useless and blocks any programs from running, including regedit (even in safe mode). Restore points (from safe mode with command prompt) are your friend... at least that was the easiest method I found.

PR_Glen · 04-13-2011, 08:30 AM

i don't think they have a biller.. It would make more sense that they were just stealing cc's and banging them after the fact..

Plus if they were using a real biller they would end up leaving a trace right back to them.

Juicy D. Links · 04-13-2011, 08:31 AM

what is the name of it ? dont link to it just what name it goes by so I can google it

I would say someone is banking on this for sure.

dyna mo · 04-13-2011, 08:37 AM

nah, when you get it you will know. Maybe you're lucky ;)

JFK · 04-13-2011, 08:39 AM

it's a pain in the ass, I got hit last week, totally disabled my pc

96ukssob · 04-13-2011, 08:39 AM

my idiot friend just downloaded on onto this computer from a link on facebook.

wouldnt allow his wireless internet to work until he paid for the software. Pretty crazy and can't figure out how these people are able to process credit cards on complete fraud

EthnicLover · 04-13-2011, 08:40 AM

I like never having to worry about viruses. What is a malware anyway?

Wouldn't be surprised if it were some of the same people who own notorious DMCA tubes. I would love to see some asset forfeiture and prison time handed out to these guys. Make them pay all costs incurred by people having to remove the programs.

sponsorpimp · 04-13-2011, 08:48 AM

Barry-xlovecam · 04-13-2011, 08:55 AM

Sometimes, LINUX is a pain in the ass ...

Not being affected by Windows Viruses and Malware is nice.

TheLegacy · 04-13-2011, 09:00 AM

I've had 5 computers in the past week from family etc. with the same problem.

Basically used trend housecalls and Malwarebytes in safe mode to get ride of them (along with usual computer care). Truly is annoying but I at least got some free coffee and snacks while cleaning it up

Agent 488 · 04-13-2011, 09:05 AM

what browser you using. i saw it try to work with chrome but didn't infect.

anyways a webhost who i thinks is on this board (albeit in a different manifestation) made bank off something similar a few years ago.

i'm sure the people who are doing it now are a stone's throw from some people on this board.

and the small ftc fine wont deter them in the least.

Now I just give people 1-866-PC SAFETY. It's free and sponsored by Microsoft. I hear they will walk people through getting rid of this stuff. I figure why not let Microsoft deal with the consequences of their insecure products?

PR_Glen · 04-13-2011, 09:10 AM

i've gone years without getting viruses and I have to check some of the wackiest concoctions on the internet when i do approvals. but these new ones with the antivirus approach have caused me some serious headaches as of late..

It adapts the name to your OS with some variations.

Examples: Win7 Antispyware 2011, Vista Antimalware 2011, Vista Security 2011 etc.

All of them display a control panel like window (matching your OS) with a fake scan.

they make millions and couple months ago they were linked to one of the biggest sponsors (sale) of our industry.. but there are no proofs.

i suspect the enemy is amongst us. I've heard some posters here made lots of money and got their start from peddling that shit.

Ayla_SquareTurtle · 04-13-2011, 11:23 AM

I traced one that my parents got to 2 domains on the same host. Contacted the host (can't remember who) and registrar (godaddy) with screen shots and proof that the offending domains belonged to their customer.

I wasn't a customer of the hosting company, so they didn't even bother to reply. I did have a couple of domains with godaddy at the time, so I guess they figured they had to say something. Unfortunately, all they said was that there was nothing they could do because installing malware is apparently not against their TOS.

I'm sure there's more I could have done if I'd have really pushed it, but I wasn't really sure where to go from there and that was that. I'd still like to get one of these scumbags by the short and curlies.

thecooze · 04-13-2011, 12:18 PM

I started using ms essentials and it blocks it. This shit is so annoying.
