Title: SpySheriff
Post by: MSL on May 20, 2011, 02:40:42 PM

SpySheriff

SpySheriff is malware that disguises itself as an anti-spyware program. SpySheriff is also known as Brave Sentry, Pest Trap, SpyTrooper, and SpywareNo. The program attempts to trick the user of an infected computer into buying the program by repeatedly informing them of false threats to their system. SpySheriff was initially difficult to remove from an infected computer and is difficult to remove manually. Attempting to remove it using the "Add/Remove Programs" applet in control panel does not remove all components, and SpySheriff's components may be in the System Restore folders.[ SpySheriff can be easily removed using anti-malware tools.

Websites

SpySheriff used to be hosted at www. spy-sheriff . com. However, this website is now defunct. Several typosquatted websites also attempted to automatically install SpySheriff, including a version of Google.com (Goggle.com). As of 2009, these sites are no longer active.


Problems caused by SpySheriff

-SpySheriff reports false malware infections and uses poor heuristics to detect real malware infections.

-The desktop background may be replaced with an image resembling a blue screen of death, or a notice reading: "SPYWARE INFECTION! Your system is infected with spyware. Windows recommends that you use a spyware removal tool to prevent loss of data. Using this PC before having it cleaned of spyware threats is highly discouraged."_{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpySheriff}

1. Well said, alsvinjhon!
 
2. SpySheriff is something that I met once online, as far as I remember. It's good for the netizens to know more about this dangerous softwere (i.e. malwere, i.e. scareware).

Title: More than 80% of malware now spreads via the internet!

Compared to in the past, when email was the key method for spreading viruses, our Virus Lab research shows that more than 80% of malware now spreads via the internet. More notably, only 1% comes from suspicious or ‘dodgy’ sites – the rest spreads via legitimate websites that have been hacked.
