Newly Added Threat List
The following new parasites have been added to SpyHunter:
SpywareDestructor Description
SpywareDestructor claims to be “the best antispyware ever,” however, SpywareDestructor is just another rogue anti-spyware program. SpywareDestructor is often downloaded and installed by a Trojan, through browser security holes, or via other unconventional and unethical mechanisms. Once installed, SpywareDestructor uses Trojans to infiltrate user’s computer system and exploit web browser security holes. SpywareDestructor may also display notifications of imaginary security and privacy risks in its attempts to get the user to purchase the full version and may generate system slowdown and instability. SpywareDestructor is a clone of the infamous AntiSpywareExpert, a fraudulent anti-spyware program.
Trojan.Downloader.vzu Description
Trojan.Downloader.vzu is a Trojan that may install secretly in order to infect computers with malware. Trojan.Downloader.vzu infects computers through security exploits and other deceptive methods. Trojan.Downloader.vzu breaks into the user’s system and grants access to a third party who can then take control of the computer, steal personal information or damage the system.
CouponBarIE Toolbar Description
CouponBarIE Toolbar is an adware application that installs into Internet Explorer as a Browser Helper Object (BHO). Once installed, CouponBarIE Toolbar creates a toolbar in Internet Explorer and will display numerous adverts and coupons, based on the websites that you are visiting.
