New rogue antispyware – SpywareSheriff

Myantispyware team May 5, 2006    

SpywareSheriff, a new rogue antispyware application that is starting to infect a lot of users. This particular infection is harder to remove than other variants such as SpywareQuake and SpyFalcon. This is because it uses a lot of random names for the files. It is, though, easy to tell when you are infected with this malware.

When infected your Internet Explorer home page will be set to about:blank that opens the screen shown below. If you attempt to change your home page to another site, it will reset it to the one below.

Then when you click on the page, it will take you to the url http://antispylab.com/
You will also periodically get fake taskbar messages that state the following among others:
