Registry Virus Scanner

Registry Virus Scanner Description

Registry Virus Scanner is a fake registry optimization application and defragmenter from the FakeRean family that is part of a well-known online scam. Fake security programs and defragmenters are some of the most common malware infections which, although currently in decline, still form the majority of malware infections worldwide. Programs like Registry Virus Scanner are designed to cause problems on your computer system and then pester you with a barrage of fake error messages and alarming security alerts. These notifications will make the victim believe that the computer system is severely infected and that the best solution is to purchase a full copy of Registry Virus Scanner. ESG PC security researchers strongly recommends against downloading or installing Registry Virus Scanner on your computer system. Most problems on the infected computer are caused by Registry Virus Scanner itself. This is because Registry Virus Scanner contains no anti-malware or defragmenting capabilities. Rather, Registry Virus Scanner is composed of malicious scripts, Trojans and a flashy interface to perpetrate its scam.
 

How the Registry Virus Scanner Scam Works

Fake defragmenters and system optimization programs are a severe problem for malware analysts. There are countless versions of programs similar to Registry Virus Scanner, such as Windows Antivirus 2008, Vista Antivirus 2008, PC Clean Pro, Antivirus Pro 2009, AntiSpy Safeguard, ThinkPoint, Spyware Protection 2010, Internet Antivirus 2011, Palladium Pro, XP Anti-Virus 2011, CleanThis, XP Home Security 2012, Windows Clear Problems, XP Security 2012, Antivirus PRO 2015. These rogue security programs all use the same scan: they cause problems on the infected computer and then attempt to convince the victim to purchase a useless anti-malware or defragmenter solution. The Registry Virus Scanner rogue security program is able to make damaging changes to the Windows Registry and to the operating system's system settings. Due to these changes, Registry Virus Scanner can be quite difficult to remove completely. Usually, a strong, reliable, anti-malware tool is needed, in order to eradicate this threat from your computer system completely. Registry Virus Scanner has the capacity to block some of the most popular anti-malware applications as well as blocking access to the Internet, so it may also be necessary to start up Windows in Safe Mode. It is also important to understand that malware like Registry Virus Scanner almost never attacks alone. In fact, with the help of a Trojan designed to drop malicious applications onto its victim's hard drive, Registry Virus Scanner is able to infect a computer system. Because of this, it is a good idea to make sure that your sensitive data or personal information have not been compromised once you have removed Registry Virus Scanner from your computer.

Threat Scorecard
?
The ESL Threat Scorecard is an assessment report that is given to every malware threat that has been collected and analyzed through our Malware Research Center. The ESL Threat Scorecard evaluates and ranks each threat by using several metrics such as trends, incidents and severity over time.

In addition to the effective scoring for each threat, we are able to interpret anonymous geographic data to list the top three countries infected with a particular threat. The data used for the ESL Threat Scorecard is updated daily and displayed based on trends for a 30-day period. The ESL Threat Scorecard is a useful tool for a wide array of computer users from end users seeking a solution to remove a particular threat or security experts pursuing analysis and research data on emerging threats.

Each of the fields listed on the ESL Threat Scorecard, containing a specific value, are as follows:

Ranking: The current ranking of a particular threat among all the other threats found on our malware research database.

Threat Level: The level of threat a particular computer threat could have on an infected computer. The threat level is based on a particular threat's behavior and other risk factors. We rate the threat level as low, medium or high. The different threat levels are discussed in the SpyHunter Risk Assessment Model.

Infected Computer: The number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular threat detected on infected computers retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter's Spyware Scanner.

% Change: The daily percent change in the frequency of infected computers of a specific threat. The formula for percent changes results from current trends of a specific threat. An increase in the rankings of a specific threat yields a recalculation of the percentage of its recent gain. When a specific threat's ranking decreases, the percentage rate reflects its recent decline. For a specific threat remaining unchanged, the percent change remains in its current state. The % Change data is calculated and displayed in three different date ranges, in the last 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days. Next to the percentage change is the trend movement a specific malware threat does, either upward or downward, in the rankings. Each level of movement is color coded: a green up-arrow (∧) indicates a rise, a red down-arrow (∨) indicates a decline, and a brown equal symbol (=) indicates no change or plateaued.

Top 3 Countries Infected: Lists the top three countries a particular threat has targeted the most over the past month. This data allows computer users to track the geographic distribution of a particular threat throughout the world.
Ranking: N/A
Threat Level: 10
Infected Computers: 57
