During installation, this malware will configure your browser by changing its proxy settings so, that it will display an antispyjob.com fake warning page instead sites that you want to visit. The fake warning titled “Internet Explorer Warning – visiting this web site may harm your computer” and states, that you want to open a site which contains malicious exploits that can launch a virus on your computer.
