Screenshot: FakeAV/AS

[TCG]

Hi everyone!!

A friend called me last night somewhat frantic about his computer acting up. I connected remotely via teamviewer to take a look. Using ComboFix and Malwarebytes the fake antimalware program was easily removed. Now I've seen several of these types over the years with varying names, poor grammar, empty threats, etc..... However this is the first time I've seen this specific one. This is quite possibly the funniest wording I've ever seen on one of these and thought I'd share.

Hah! Whatever moron designed the GUI for that fake AV can't speak a lick of English, nor type it obviously.

Indeed, I especially like the mention of the Police and an internal IP being blacklisted.... good funny

I was just thinking the same thing

Yeah, that is the unfortunate truth. People see the red X along with "critical" or "warning" and just click without reading the message...

You're going to destroy my business before I even get it going.

This looks like another variant of the w32.fakerean (MS Removal Tool, XP Security 2011, Vista Total Security 2011).
