Getting Acquainted With Antivirus Soft Website

 

This week, Antivirus Soft is at the very top of the most popular and most annoying rogue security applications. I've already warned you to stay away from this clone of Antivirus Live and Antivirus System PRO. Today I'd like to focus on more detailed information about Antivirus Soft malicious website.

Let's start our analysis from the website, prompting victims to purchase a full version of the program. They are navigated to this malicious website (N e w s o f t s p o t . m i c r o s o f t . c o m or N e w s o f t s p o t . c o m) if a "free trial version" of Antivirus Soft is dropped onto the victimized system. All this is done with the help of Trojans and other malware. 

Take a look at the malicious website:

Even though the website does not have a "download" link and aims to sell fake program (not to spread it for free), I would highly recommend you not to visit it. You can never when cyber criminals will decide to trick you and infect your computer system with various malicious parasites. 

Creators of the website claim that:

"This website is solely owned and operated by Antivirus Soft, Inc.
Great Marlborough Str. 74
London
SE12TU
GB
Phone +1(800)220.72.09"

However, the analysis of the website at whois.com has shown that its registrant is Mary, located not in London but in Moscow, Russia. According to the IP address of the site - 195.88.190.55 - the real birthplace of the malware is also stated to be in Russian Federation. As always, cyber criminals are doing their best to stay undetected and perform their malicious activities successfully. Therefore, information provided in malicious website very rarely represents real and correct information.

Remember that neither Antivirus Soft, nor its malicious website will resolve any security problems on your PC. This malicious application can neither detect, nor remove malware from the computer system. Moreover, this rogueware can infect your PC with additional parasites that will further compromise the system. Tomorrow I'll provide you with more detailed information concerning Antivirus soft malicious activities and files.

When it won't let you enter safe mode (cursed blue screen) hold the ALT & Cntrl Keys and keep tapping the delete key as your desktop loads. This will get you into tassk manager before the enviroment is affected.

Remove Processes that contain tssd.exe then use your removal programs

I was infected yesterday, and so I did some researching, IP address stuff and such. I eventually came upon the creator of the virus' owner's address.

ulitsa Gubina, 20 Russian Federation, 190000, gorod Sankt-Peterburg

there you go. I hope someone takes legal action soon.

Hi all,

Just had the same infection. Spy doctor was able to remove it, you have to restart your pc in safemode with networking and need to adjust your proxy settings in IE in order to be able to surf or download the program.
