Aol Under Attack From Antivirasistant
You almost have to feel sorry for America Online. They’ve been the target of many forms of malware over the years. Naturally, once rogue security tools came on the scene, someone had to take advantage of AOL. Antivirasistant is one such corrupt program.
Rogue security tools are a class of malware that pretend to be actual security tools in order to infect computers and scam the users out of their money. It can be taken farther into identity theft. Luckily with this one, it’s more obvious than most other types of corrupt security tools. Its creator apparently isn’t a native English speaker. That makes it easy enough to avoid the credit card fraud and identity theft aspect. However, once you see the garbled notice that says, more or less, that your computer was flagged by America Online as infected and that you can’t access some of its pages, you’re already infected.
These corrupt security programs are often transmitted through infected webpages. These webpages are often pornographic in appearance, or sometimes they’re gambling websites. Another, more devious type of infected webpage that nearly every one of these bugs has, including this one, is the infected antimalware home page. Unfortunately, it takes a carefully trained eye to tell infected pages from benign ones. That’s not even a guarantee, especially with the security tool home pages. Besides, a person who could tell the difference would most likely already have a good security tool that would keep them away from these pages.
The other, and increasingly more frequent, means of transmission is by peer to peer (P2P) file sharing and downloading pirated software. This practice has always had the danger of transmitting viruses, worms and adware. More recently than that, it was determined to be illegal. All told, the thrill of being a would-be Internet pirate is simply not worth it.
Wherever you get it from, once the download button is clicked, the infection begins. In this case, your file manager will be hijacked, and it will show you the badly worded message that you’re infected. You will then be redirected to the program’s home page. You can restart your computer, but you will encounter the same problem when you’re started up again.
At this home page, you will be told that you can fix your infection for anywhere from fifty dollars to eighty dollars. It will seem to allow you the option of turning down the software, but it just won’t let you leave the website until you do. Of course, that’s the last thing you want to do.
If you agree to get the software, it will ask for your credit card information. Once entered, you get stuck with a substandard program that only downloads more junk onto your computer. You may also discover that your credit card bill is much larger than what you agreed to pay. Now that this corrupt program has your info, did you really think it would let you go just like that? Your money is better spent on a real security program. Buyer Beware.
