Solve : Perfect Defender 2009 "Virus Removal" - FAKE DON'T BUY OR DOWNLOAD!?

Answer»

This has come to my attention that there is a virus, and whenever your homepage pops up, it says this may be a virused site, and it can be harmful to your computer. You'll also get a popup concerning "Win32.Zafi.B" that it will record keystrokes and take screenshots of your computer, stealing personal information.

EDIT: Just a clarification, the description of Win32.Zafi.B is fake, but it's just...You know, viruses always SAY things like that.

The site is hxxp://www.defender-2009.com. PLEASE, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE VIRUS REMOVAL! IT IS THE VIRUS!

It will find many viruses, but the PROGRAM put it on there. The popup concerning Win32.Zafi.B will popup around...every 5 to 10 minutes. If you get it, EXIT OUT OF IT, DO NOT CLICK ENABLE PROTECTION! It activates the virus!

If you need more help, use this website. You need to use MBAM.exe, too.

These are the files that PD adds to your computer:

  • c:\Program Files\Perfect Defender 2009
  • c:\Program Files\Perfect Defender 2009\dbbase.div
  • c:\Program Files\Perfect Defender 2009\pd.dll
  • c:\Program Files\Perfect Defender 2009\pdfndr.exe
  • c:\Program Files\Perfect Defender 2009\pdmonitor.exe
  • c:\Program Files\Perfect Defender 2009\UnInstall.exe
  • c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Perfect Defender 2009.lnk
  • c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Perfect Defender 2009.lnk
  • c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Perfect Defender 2009\Perfect Defender 2009.lnk
  • c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Perfect Defender 2009\Uninstall Perfect Defender 2009.lnk

If you have purchased it to..."Remove" their virus, then your credit card number is stolen. They make you "purchase" the "Microsoft Gold Certified" program, but, it isn't, and takes your number.

Hope this helps,

By which you mean you got it?I munged your link. Please DO NOT post links to infected web sites...

I suggest using WOT - Web of Trust. WOT is a free Internet SECURITY addon for your browser. It will keep you safe from online scams, identity theft, spyware, spam, viruses and unreliable shopping sites. WOT warns you before you interact with a risky website. It's easy and it's free. The site itself isn't harmful, but the download is, and sorry... Was just warning.

And, I do use WOT :-).

Yesssssss.....I don't mean to argue it but yes, it is an infected site. It's on multiple security tools black lists.

If you can get infected by clicking a link on a site then the whole site is considered infected.

We don't want users complaining they clicked a link at CH and got infected Quote from: evilfantasy on February 09, 2009, 01:19:03 PM
