MS Antivirus 2008 Description

MS Antivirus 2008 is a rogue anti-spyware program that comes from the same family as other rogue programs such as Windows Antivirus 2008, Antivirus 2008, System Antivirus 2008, Vista Antivirus 2008 and other clones. While MS Antivirus 2008 may look like it is a worth-while program for spyware removal, we have discovered that it is not. The user may wonder how MSAntivirus2008, MS Antivirus 2008, or MS Antivirus was installed onto his/her computer system without his/her actions. Usually this is done through a Trojan such as Zlob which is sometimes downloaded through a fake video codec, through spam emails or even through other malware or spyware. MS Antivirus 2008 is also known to display several popup alerts that tend to disrupt the user at times when using his/her computer.

Tip: Turn your sound ON and watch the video in Full Screen mode to fully experience how MS Antivirus 2008 infects a computer. The video contains clickable buttons.

The following MS Antivirus 2008 actions occur:

The Internet user surfs the Web and visits a questionable website. A large amount of rogue anti-spyware programs like MS Antivirus 2008 are mostly pushed through adult websites.
The Internet user downloads a free video codec, such as Video ActiveX Enhancement 2.07, which comes bundled with MS Antivirus 2008. Freeware or shareware programs tend to come with other unwanted programs such as MS Antivirus 2008. Do not install any free software without reading its EULA. By simply reading a program’s EULA, you can determine whether a program you are installing has spyware bundled with it.
The Internet user is infected with the rogue anti-spyware program MS Antivirus 2008. MS Antivirus 2008 runs a scan on the computer and gives a false spyware report claiming that the computer is infected with spyware. Once the scan is completed, a warning message appears that lists the spyware ‘found’ and the user has to either click on a link or a button to remove it. This deceptive tactic is an attempt to scare the Internet user into clicking on the link or button to purchase MS Antivirus 2008.
The Internet user closes all the fake Windows error messages and warnings and is unaware that MS Antivirus 2008 is still running its malicious tasks in the background. MS Antivirus 2008 reloads itself on a timer so if the Internet user closes the program it will only take a few moments until it opens again. The average Internet user does not realize when spyware has infected his/her computer until it is too late and the spyware problem has already spread throughout the computer.
Internet user opens web browser and is redirected to a rogue website. Known rogue websites that promote rogue anti-spyware programs are iesecurepages.com, ahomepcsafety.com, securitypills.com, softhomepage.com, asafetyliner.com, puresafetyhere.com, safehomesite.com, instantsafepage.com, safetyonlinepage.com, among others. The Internet user is bombard with websites that pop up messages that tries to push a product on him/her. Ignore such messages! We recommend closing these windows by clicking on the X instead of the ‘OK’ button.

MS Antivirus 2008 Symptoms

The following MS Antivirus 2008 symptoms occur:

MS Antivirus 2008 displays a fake system alert similar to a Windows notification message.
A red or green flashing icon appears in your system tray. If you click on the icon, a fake system alert pops up and directs you to a rogue website similar to safetyuptodate.com. In some cases, even when you don’t click on the icon the fake system alert may still pop up.
The fake system alert promises to give you a legitimate anti-spyware program that will help you fix spyware problems, but instead it really reports false information to try to trick you into purchasing the program.
MS Antivirus 2008 hijacks or modifies your homepage and displays new desktop shortcuts.
MS Antivirus 2008 changes your default homepage to a different homepage and creates new unnecessary shortcuts on your desktop. Sometimes MS Antivirus 2008 won’t even allow you to change it back to your original homepage. A website you may be redirected to is MS Antivirus 2008.com or other rogue websites that promote MS Antivirus 2008.
MS Antivirus 2008 installs a rogue toolbar called Security Toolbar 7.1.
Security toolbar 7.1 is a rogue toolbar that comes with two green bars, one that says “block adware” and the other “remove spyware”. If you click on either of them you’re directed to a rogue anti-spyware site which can install additional malware.
MS Antivirus 2008 bombards your PC with fake Windows warnings messages.
Even after you’ve closed all the MS Antivirus 2008 messages or your PC has been idle for awhile, you’ll still get constant alert popups appearing on your system tray or on your screen.

This was great! My Norton AV didn’t even pick this up. I got MS Antivirus when I went to the Hewlett Packard website to download a new driver for a printer that was on the fritz. The website (or something else!) said I needed to install the ActiveX control. I did (I thought Hewlett Packard was reliable) and BOOM. Within minutes my computer was out of control. This is my school computer and I’m VERY careful about what I do, so it’s frustrating to go to a letigimate site and have this happen. Thanks for helping me get rid of this monster.
