Malware and Scareware…

My favorite malware (ugh!) is back with a new name and a new game to get itself into your system.  Yes, Antivrus XP is back — with a new name and a few new tricks.  It’s now calling itself Anti-Virus-1 or AV-1.  Be on the lookout for this one.

Go here for the whole story.

My advice — if you did not specifically request an application be installed — DON’T!  Stop blindly clicking ‘OK’ people.

Anyways, if you find yourself infected with this little jewel – trust me, you’ll know it when you’ve got it – get yourself a copy of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and run it.  So far it is the only app that I have found that will consistently clean this little bugger.
