By GoldSparrow in Browser Hijackers

Since cyber threats began invading the Android OS, computer users need to be very careful with the sites they visit due to the presence of cross-OS threats on the Internet. Considering the diverse cyber threat landscape, some vendors may provide free tools for protection and advertise their complete suite. However, threat warnings from Deficittower.net are not to be trusted. The Deficittower.net domain is not trusted and is associated with a browser hijacker that may travel incorporated with freeware installers. Some scanners may detect the Deficittower.net browser hijacker as Trojan.JS.FakeBsod. The Deficittower.net browser hijacker may show pop-up windows and might use custom CSS-styles and JavaScript to prevent users from accessing other Web pages than Deficittower.net. The Antivirus Protection program window on the Deficittower.net pop-ups is a screenshot of the interface of a rogue anti-virus program called Antivirus Protection that surfaced in 2012.

The browser hijacker associated with Deficittower.net may list detections by Antivirus Protection like Downloader-BLV, W32/Autorun.worm!5492698F and Genric.dx!02c9c3c35bd5 to suggest users that they are infected. Conveniently, users might be directed to call a customer support on (855)-816-0479 and receive help to clean their computers. Security investigators warn users that the (855)-816-0479 phone number that is provided on Deficittower.net is registered at Yolanda Ct that is in the suburbs of Lakeland, Florida, USA. Licensed computer experts do not operate the technical support on (855)-816-0479. Do not obey the instructions listed on the Deficittower.net pop-up alerts. Calling (855)-816-0479 may result in installing rogue security tools like Antivir Solution Basic and losing up to $400. Instead, place your trust in a reputable anti-malware suite that can delete the Deficittower.net browser hijacker and prevent similar threats from entering your OS again.
