TROJ_FAKEADB.US

TROJ_FAKEADB.US is a Trojan that is a component of a Facebook scam that attracts web users into downloading a fraudulent Adobe Flash Player plugin. TROJ_FAKEADB.US is distributed as a bogus Adobe flash via a fake webpage with so-called 90 Million Likes. For some Facebook users, this large number of Facebook likes may be enough for them to check the page out. It also means that the page is quite popular and may lead Internetusers into believing that it is genuine and safe. However, in actuality, this 91 million 'Likes' is imaginary at all and is simply a social engineering lure. When PC users visit the web page, they are instead diverted to this website. The page allegedly hosts an Adobe Flash Player plugin, found as TROJ_FAKEADB.US. If the victim downloads the plugin and surf the page via Google Chrome, the page will automatically close, and a Chrome extension file (.CRX file) is added, found as another malware threat.
