Anti-Malware Lab and security do not mix
Posted by Denny under Rogue Anti-Spyware
Anti-Malware Lab is computer threat which belongs to a group of rogues that releases a new edition of fake antispyware approximately once a month. The other versions of this rogue were PC Security Guardian, System Smart Security and Best Malware Protection. They are not listed in the order of appearance, but you simply should know that the new rogue comes well-prepared and you need to remove Anti-Malware Lab from your system once you spot the first symptoms of the infection.
The most obvious symptom of Anti-Malware Lab’s infection is the rogue’s interface appearing in your screen. A lot of unsuspecting users are quick to consider this rogue a legitimate security program, because Anti-Malware Lab seamlessly intermingles with Windows interface and makes it look like it is a supplementary part of the operating system. The rogue’s interface mimics the layout and the general appearance of Windows explorer, so for some users distinguishing between a rogue and a real program might come up as a hard task.
Not to mention that Anti-Malware Lab performs a fake system scan after which is gives a list of viruses which are supposedly residing in the target computer. The viruses in questions are Trojan-PSW.Win32.Antigen.a, Virus.BAT.Gray.705, Trojan-Spy.Win32.WMPatch and many others. If the user is a little bit suspicious about Anti-Malware Lab and he looks up the parasites on the Internet, he will see that all the viruses are not made up. These names belong to real parasites and in general it sheds a positive light onto Anti-Malware Lab. However, that does not mean that one can trust this application.
The rogue generates these parasite names itself, and that is not all. It also sends the user a variety of fake security alerts, which should add up to the whole intimidating atmosphere, pushing the innocent user into the trap. Anti-Malware Lab promotes the “Ultimate Protection” which the user needs to activate by purchasing the license. Paying for Anti-Malware Lab is out of question, because it would reveal your banking information to the people related to the Russian Business Network. Naturally, your bank account would be hacked afterwards and you would lose all of your money. Use this code to activate Anti-Malware Lab instead:
U2FD-S2LA-H4KA-UEPB
Having “activated” the rogue with this code you will find it easier to get rid of it. Terminate Anti-Malware Lab with a reliable antispyware tool if you do not know how to do it manually. Do not allow this malicious application to stay in your computer any longer, because it will damage your system before you manage to say “security”.
