Today we found a new site distributing WinSpywareProtect. The URL in question is hxxp://antivirus777.com which is redirecting to a recently created domain hxxp://antivir-online-scan.com/. Once on the site it will “run” a scan on your computer and it will proceed to tell you that it found malware and adult material. The file antivirus.v.1.0.exe only has a 5/36 detection ratio at VirusTotal at the time of the post so be careful!
I keep getting this ‘antivirus.v.1.0.exe’ everytime I open with Firefox. I’m now using Windows explorer.
As i know very little about these things i’m not sure what i should do. The message/warning/ad won’t go away until i shut down the computer which doesn’t seem to be a good thing. What do i do now please?
