Fake Windows Security Alert And VirusProtectPro

Fake Windows Security Alert And VirusProtectPro
About two days ago, I read an interesting article about fake windows security alert. You will receive an e-mail that ask you to download an update

The e-mail messages claim to describe a "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer" that fixes a critical security flaw in the browser. It comes with a link entitled "Download this update."
When users click on this link, they are taken to a server that attempts to install malicious software known as Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.avk. [source]


Yesterday, my friend asked me to check his computer because windows security alert keep on pop up and alert him with active spyware that running. I asked him to scan with antivirus first before I arrive.

My friend use Bitdefender 10, but can't detect anything, Ad-aware also can't change anything. So I try clicking the security alert and Internet explorer automatically visit VirusProtectPro website. I close the window and right click at the security alert, the same thing happen. I asked my friend did he downloading windows update via e-mail. He do nothing, just download and install a plugin for Internet Explorer.

We out of option, so lets the expert do the job. We asked Mr Google :p . I search for "virusprotect pro" and we find the solution, it different from the article I mention before but still a new trojan. The trojan disguise as a plugin for browser and sometime can install itself without user knowledge. So becareful when downloading a plugin.

Click this link if your computer infected by this Trojan.
