New Rogue: SecurityAntivirus

by Albin on February 9th, 2010 in Security Alert, Security Alerts.

A new clone from the MalwareCatcher rogue security software family has now been released.

The fraud tool is called SecurityAntivirus and will add hundreds of registry keys within:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution\

This is done to prevent security products and competing malware from running.

So how does one get rid of it...I can't seem to use adaware to remove it because it blocks it from opening.
