Do you know what Vitae Antivirus 2008 is?

DESCRIPTION

Vitae Antivirus 2008 was discovered to be a clone of the infamous rogue anti-spyware program Antivirus 2008. It seems the Antivirus 2008 family of programs is growing bigger by the day with cleverly named new additions. Vitae Antivirus 2008 comes off to look very similar to XP Antivirusor WinAntivirusPro using the same old colors and comparable interface.

Don’t be fooled by the pretty blue colors and nicely laid out buttons on the Vitae Antivirus 2008 program, it is still a fake anti-spyware program that does nothing but take your money and waste your time. Vitae Antivirus 2008 does not add security functions to your computer or provide virus/spyware protection.

If you have Vitae Antivirus 2008 do you remember if you downloaded a video codec lately? Trojan infections such as Zlob come from fake video codec downloads which can easily install Vitae Antivirus 2008 without your permission.

Hackers are now jumping the gun in naming some of their malicious programs such as XPAntivirus 2009. It is not 2009 yet is it? We had enough trouble with XP Antivirus and Antivirus 2008 which are related to XPAntivirus 2009. So why a 2009 version now?

XPAntivirus 2009 looks to be newer variant of XP Antivirus that performs the same malicious acts of bombarding you with false popups and bogus system scans to scare you into purchasing the full version. XPAntivirus 2009 can be installed undercover without your permission usually through a Trojan infection such as Zlob.

Do you know what InternetSecurityDeluxe is?

DESCRIPTION

InternetSecurityDeluxe, believe it or not, is a fake anti-spyware program. Even though the name may be misleading, it is still classified as a rogue program that we find to be useless at removing spyware or adding security features for your computer. InternetSecurityDeluxe does neither, all that it is good for is taking your money in return for a worthless program.

InternetSecurityDeluxe or sometimes called Internet Security Deluxe typically comes from a Trojan infection which can be obtained through a fake video codec download. The Trojans that we have narrowed InternetSecurityDeluxe coming from are the Zlob and Vundo Trojan. Some computer users have reported getting InternetSecurityDeluxe directly from the InternetSecurityDeluxe.com website. InternetSecurityDeluxe can be installed by these Trojans without your permission. Sometimes the only way that you know you have InternetSecurityDeluxe installed is after you start to get fake popups and alert messages.

Do you know what Your Web Safe is?

DESCRIPTION

Your Web Safe is the name describing a group of rogue anti-spyware programs such as The Web Sentinel and The Registry Sentinel. Maybe hackers are getting the word “Sentinel” confused with a newspaper because these programs do not guard or protect you from anything.

Do you know what The Registry Sentinel is?

DESCRIPTION

The Registry Sentinel is a fake registry repair program known to be part of the Your Web Safe group of rogue anti-spyware programs. The Registry Sentinel, like other programs in the Your Web Safe family of fake applications, uses elicit tactics to get you to purchase the full version of the Registry Sentinel program.

The Locker.exe file runs on your computer causing this to happen.
