Ever seen horror movies with a chain of serial possessions?
You never know who’s possessed and who’s not.
Before you could wink an eye, the lead lady of the movie
becomes a ghost! The story of trouble fixers, registry
cleaners and such innumerable “one click, all clear”
wonders are no different. Many of them are spywares
and adwares themselves in the clothing of perfect solutions
to your problems. “ErrorSafe” is one such
adware MicroWorld has detected.
The stylishly designed website of ‘ErrorSafe’,
which looks very much like an official Microsoft website,
uses Windows XP design elements all around, with some
glassy buttons and bars. Windows XP logo is cleverly
displayed on the product box claiming the platform compatibility!
Contact information on the website speaks nothing about
the address and location of the company. Home page reads
that it’s an “All-In-One-Suite” that
provides complete professional system optimization,
protection and recovery solution to fix your computer
problem. Once downloaded, it starts displaying a myriad
of annoying pop-up ads on affected PCs. ErrorSafe’s
behavior includes using confusing ads, wrong information,
false positives and uncloseable message boxes. The problem
has just begun!
This adware automatically gives error messages about
severe computer threats even when the program is not
running. This way, ErrorSafe gives an impression that
it has nothing to do with these messages. It is a sophisticated
program and can evade detection by normal adware and
spyware inspectors. Most popup blockers are unable to
stop the pop-ups engineered by ErrorSafe as they are
created at the Operating System level.
WinFixer is another dubious program of the same nature
and tribe of ErrorSafe. It has a very similar website,
only difference being, it’s in complete red where
ErrorSafe is all blue! MicroWorld experts are currently
studying the components of ErrorSafe and its ramifications.
MicroWorld products eScan and MailScan are highly powerful
and extremely effective against spywares and adwares
with their very large database of such malice. Apart
from getting updated every hour, it blocks all programs
that looks suspicious in its purpose, while informing
you of the same. MicroWorld advises its users to update
their software regularly to thwart threats of this nature.
Incase one has already downloaded this program, the
MWAV toolkit can be used to detect and remove same.
