Stop-Press News on BlockWatcher Rogueware

 

In my previous articles on BlockWacther I have analyzed what this rogueware is doing and where it is hiding. Today I would like to focus on several new aspects of BlockWatcher, including the effect on your system after you are infected, as well as analyze some files of the fake application.

If you are not sure whether your computer is infected with this rogueware, try to answer the following questions:

Do you keep getting annoying pop-ups on your screen?
• Have you noticed that the performance of your personal computer has slowed?
• Have you got new shortcuts on your desktop?
• Do you see a different home page on your browser?

In case all the answers to the questions above are positive, be sure that you are infected with the rogueware which might be hiding in your computer under different names.

In addition to setup[1].exe and BlockWatcher.exe, there are two more executable files associated with this malicious software. Be sure to remove them if you are not using any removal tool: yxh5.tmp.exe as well as 10068tro9zd85.exe. Have a look at the following table in which two files with their distinct sizes and MD5 signatures are included:

File Name
File Size
MD5
setup[1].exe
916248 7bae3c06c69d7f3ac1a6918d2476d0c8
BlockWatcher.exe
830464 e71fad078d429a91089117d61de098b2

Table 1. File information

Don't forget the most important fact. In order to get rid of this application, clean your computer from all the newly created registry values and files of BlockWatcher.

All in all, don't be inveigled in the illegal activities of BlockWatcher. Remember that this is a fake application which is neither a spyware removal nor spyware detection tool. I would like to highly recommend you to keep away from suspicious sites, as well as install trustable anti-spyware software on your PC in order to sleep peacefully at night.
