Some security researchers have found a fake antivirus which is actually a malware. The strange thing about this malware is that it claims to be powered by Google.
Some highly SEO optimize website with Good ranking in Google Search are being used by attackers to spread this malware. When a user visits any of this malicious website, the website shows a fake virus warning message. This message warns users to download or they will block their access to all Google services. The message says, "Google systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer. Please check your PC on viruses. To continue, please download and install our antivirus software. [DOWNLOAD button] or our system will block your access to Google services."
All those visitors who download the antivirus in order to avoid service blockage of various Google services, served a malware which contains Trojan.Win32.Fakeav.tri (v). This Trojan is really harmful. To know more you can search for this Trojan in Google. It means a Trojan which is claiming to be a antivirus.
It is my personal suggestion not to believe any of these kinds of spams which claim to be the part of such a big companies. No company launches this company silently. If you are not sure, then search in Google or other search engine to know more before trusting. If you really want to know this kind of new service launched by these companies, follow my other new related website,Techlomedia. This website will update you all the latest service and gadgets launched.
If you have already downloaded this fake antivirus, then scan your whole system to detect and remove this virus. If you have not updated your antivirus for past few days, then update your antivirus because older antivirus will not detect this Trojan signature. You can also download any latest antivirus and internet security suit
