System Tool 2011 Removal Support

System Tool 2011 is another rogue (fake) antivirus program that appears as legit antivirus software. Once installed, usually via Trojans, this program is designed to automatically run false scans and display bogus security alerts, pop-ups, which disrupt the end-user’s overall computer-browsing experience. The sole purpose of this rogue antivirus program is to trick its victims into believing that their computers have been infected and thereby urging them to purchase the full version of the software in order to proceed with threat removal and protection. DO NOT fall for this kind of marketing tricks as doing so will result to total waste of your hard-earned money and exposure of your credit card to cybercriminals.





How to Remove System Tool 2011

If your computer has already been infected with System Tool 2011, get rid of it right away as failure to do so will result in getting your system disabled by this rogue antivirus software. Furthermore, System Tool 2011 is capable of changing your desktop wallpaper with its blue screened message warning about your computer being infected and your information being at risk. It will hijack and redirect your Internet Explorer or whatever web browser you are using, in order to have you purchase the program with your credit card. Again, please do not purchase System Tool 2011 as it will neither remove infections nor protect your computer in any way shape or form.

Remove System Tool 2011 manually by restarting your computer in safe mode using F8 key. Use the built-in FIND or SEARCH utility to locate the files, folders, & processes related to System Tool 2011.

A New Backdoor Malware Targets iPad Device on Windows

Owners and users of the newly released Apple iPad should be wary of an unsolicited email that Scammers are circulating. The email appears to look like the one below:

Subject: "iPad Software Update"

Message: “Hello iPad user! There were released updates for software installed on your iPad device. It is very important to keep the software on your iPad updated for best performance, newer features and security. All you need is a computer with the latest version of iTunes and internet connection for updating your iPad software. It is important to say that during software update no data is lost. To get the latest version of iTunes software, please go to (webpage blocked for security purposes) and install the application. After this, connect your iPad device to the computer, select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. Click ‘Check for update’, to see if new version of iPad software is available or not and then click update to install the latest version of the software on iPad. Thank you!”

In their continued efforts to target mass users of popular devices and/or applications, malware developers have released a new backdoor malware being identified by BitDefender as Backdoor.Bifrose.ADDY

As seen above, the email was crafted to trick iPad owners and users into downloading software update from a Web page that looks like a legitimate iTunes download page, but which turns out to be malware that researchers say is capable of opening a back door on the targeted device, giving cybercriminals or hackers unauthorized access to it.

According to Sabina Datcu, technology writer for BitDefender “ After installing the supposed software update, the malware injects itself onto the "explorer.exe" process and opens up a back door that attackers can use to take control of the infected system.” It also attempts to read the keys and serial numbers of the various software programs installed on the computer and logs passwords to the victim's ICQ, Messenger, and POP3 mail accounts, and protected storage, Datcu said.

Malware distributed by most Ad-Serving Networks

Malware lurking in Ads that are delivered by ad-serving networks of Google, Yahoo, Fox, and others have been identified as “JS:Prontexi,” by Antivirus and Malware researchers at ALWIL Software, the Prague-based developers of Avast Antivirus. They said the Malware is usually spread through JavaScript code poisoned to infect advertising distributed by major ad-serving systems and other exploited applications.

The ALWIL team said the Malware exploits vulnerabilities in Java, Adobe Reader, Acrobat, QuickTime, and Flash and then launches fake antivirus warnings on victims’ computers.

The Malware does not require much interaction from computer users. According to Jiri Sejtko, a senior virus analyst at Avast, “Users can get their machines infected just by reading their favorite online newspapers or by doing searches on popular topics; computers can be infected after the infected ads are loaded by the web browser.”

The ALWIL team also said that some of the most popular ad delivery services have been the "most compromised," which include Yahoo's Yieldmanager.com and Fox Audience Network's Firmerve.com.

Facebook Bredolab Malware Tricks Exposed

An email purported to be from Facebook’s Customer Support is on the loose. If you’re actively engaged on Facebook’s networking site, chances are that you may have already received an email indicating that Facebook had reset your password in order to provide you with the most up to date security. The email appears to look like the one below:

Subject: Facebook Password Reset Confirmation Customer Support

Message: “Dear user of Facebook, Because of the measures taken to provide safety to our clients, your password has been changed. You can find your new password in attached document. Thanks, Your Facebook.”

According to Gary Warner, “Cyber-criminals are using fake e-mails to target Facebook users and deliver computer viruses that were being detected only by one-third of the 42 most common anti-virus products as of noon Thursday, March 18,” Warner says. “The malware being delivered is called ‘BredoLab'.”

On a blog titled “BREDOLAB Revealed,” Security Analysts at Trendlabs reported that Bredolab is associated with two well known malware families called FAKEAV (Rogue Antivirus Pro 2010) and ZBOT/Zeus (information and data stealing software).

Bredolab is responsible for downloading a series of executable (.exe) files developed by cybercriminals to inject viruses onto victims’ computer systems.

The use of drive-by downloads, Trojan horses, worms, web browser vulnerabilities, exploited applications, and browser redirection to malicious websites, are some of the tricks and tactics used by cybercriminals to infiltrate victims’ PCs.

AntiMalware Defender’s Tricks Exposed

The use of scare-ware to promote fraudulent security software programs such as AntiMalware Defender is now a common trick used by cybercriminals to defraud computer users.

AntiMalware Defender is a scam-ware engineered by cybercriminals to be distributed by means of a fake windows update installation alert. If installed, the victim’s computer is bombarded with pop-ups and will eventually be infected with spyware.

AntiMalware Defender is a Rogue Anti-Spyware program that not only destabilizes the infected computer but keeps track of the victim’s web browsing habits. The information obtained from the victim’s machine is sent to the remote servers of these cybercriminals who will immediately launch series of false pop-up notifications stating that the victim’s computer is infected with spyware.

The effects of Antimalware Defender on the infected computer could be significant if left unresolved. In most cases, the victim’s homepage is hijacked and redirected to unknown websites; firewall and anti-virus program are disabled; unusual computer slowness and much more.

If your computer has already been infected with AntiMalware Defender, get rid of it right away as failure to do so will result in getting your system disabled by this rogue anti-spyware. Please do not purchase AntiMalware Defender as it will not protect your computer in any way shape or form.

If your computer has not been infected with AntiMalware Defender, avoidance is the best strategy to staying safe from this bogus software! When visiting websites, be careful on what you click on, especially ‘executable’ (.exe) files. Most rogue-ware will automatically launch installer-scripts when either an image or an executable file is clicked on.
