Found fake microsoft update popup

Myantispyware team November 1, 2007     No Comment    

Many individuals reported to the MySpace abuse team about very realistic fake update popup.

This thing is quite realistic. And if you click “Download”, you get an offer to install a nasty little Trojan. The trojan, “updateKB890830.exe”, downloads from a site that looks like a Microsoft url, so it’s all quite realistic to the user.

Once infected, your computer will display fake security alert stating that tells you to install a rogue antispyware application to delete the infection.

Download and run MalwareBytes Anti-malware (MBAM) for removing the trojan.
