Do you know what Trojan.Win32.StarField is?

DESCRIPTION

Trojan.Win32.StarField or Trojan.Win32.Startpage.fq is a Trojan that is intended to lure you into purchasing whatever program they’re advertising, which right now happens to be IEDefender. Now if the product they have would be a reliable program, I would not be writing this description.

Trojan.Win32.StarField comes bundled in free video codecs which are mostly used to view adult videos. Once you download the free video codec, it installs Trojan.Win32.StarField and you’ll get a bogus error message similar to the examples below. Even if you press the “X” button on the error message, you’ll still continue to be bombarded with messages reminding you that your system is at risk.

In non-techie terms: Distributors of trojans conduct illicit installation methods to extort money from you. Trojan.Win32.StarField is no different than Zlob Trojan.
