Get Rid of Microsoft Security Essentials Alert a Fake Trojan Installing Fake Antivirus programs like Red Cross Antivirus, Peak Protection 2010
Get Rid of Microsoft Security Essentials Alert a Fake Trojan Installing Fake Antivirus programs like Red Cross Antivirus, Peak Protection 2010, Pest Detector 4.1, Major Defense Kit and AntiSpy Safeguard
The fake “Microsoft Security Essentials Alert” is actually a Trojan that looks very similar to real alert from legitimate Microsoft Security Essentials.
This trojan will try to trick you into thinking that your computer is infected. It will show the warning below
“Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Potential threat details
Microsoft Security Essentials detected potential threats that might compromise your privacy or damage your computer. Your access to these items may be suspended until you take an action. Click ‘Show details’ to learn more
Unknown Win32/Trojan Severe”
When you click ‘Show details’ It will then prompt you to clean your computer using the program in order to remove it. When you click on the ‘Clean Computer’ or ‘Apply actions’ button, it will state that it was unable to remove it and then prompt you to scan online.
“Unable to remove threat. Click “Scan online” to remove this threat”
If you click on the Scan Online button it will list 35 different anti-virus programs, 30 of which are legitimate anti-virus programs and 5 that are rogues that the Trojan is distributing.
These five rogue programs are:
•Red Cross Antivirus
•Peak Protection 2010
•Pest Detector 4.1
•Major Defense Kit
•AntiSpySafeguard or AntiSpy Safeguard
So that you will then ‘Free Install’ and purchase one of 5 rogue anti-virus programs that this Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Trojan is distributing.
During this fake online scan only the 5 fake anti-virus programs listed above will state that this supposed Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Trojan as an infection like ‘Unknown Trojan, Trojan Horse or Rootkit’.
It does this to scare you into clicking the Free Install button next to them that will install the rogue program onto your computer and then reboot your computer. It should be noted that Red Cross Antivirus, Peak Protection 2010, Pest Detector 4.1, Major Defense Kit, AntiSpySafeguard or AntiSpy Safeguard theTrojan is distributing are exactly the same. They just have different names and different (GUI) graphical user interfaces. You can see images of each of the above rogues below.
After your computer is rebooted, the rogue that was selected will automatically start and perform a fake scan on your computer. When it has finished it will state that it was able to clean numerous files, but was not able to clean some files, such as iexplore.exe, until the program is purchased. While running, this program will also terminate many programs when you attempt to run them and display a message stating that they are infected. This message is:
The application taskmgr.exe was launched successfully but it was forced to shut down due to security reasons.
This happened because the application was infected by a malicious program which might pose a threat for the OS.
It is highly recommended to install the necessary heuristic module and perform a full scan of your computer to exterminate malicious programs from it.
Furthermore, these rogues will also display security alerts from your Windows taskbar that display messages such as:
Warning! Database updated failed!
Database update failed!
Outdated viruses database are not effective can’t guarantee adequate protection and security for your PC! Click here to get the full version of the product and update the database!
Warning! Running trial version!
The security of your computer has been compromised! Now running trial version of the software! Click here to purchase the full version of the software and get full protection for your PC!
Of course, all of above warnings and alerts nothing more but a scam and like false scan results should be ignored!
As you can see Microsoft Security Essentials Fake Alert, is a scam that is designed with one purpose to trick you into purchasing the so-called full version of the programs Red Cross Antivirus, Peak Protection 2010, Pest Detector 4.1, Major Defense Kit, AntiSpySafeguard, or AntiSpy Safeguard. Do not fall for these virus creators bait into buying the Rogueware and if you already have, you should contact your credit card company and dispute the charges.
And now coming back on How to Get Rid of Microsoft Security Essentials Fake Alert, you need a solid program to fix the damages, the rogue has caused. It alters files, folders,permissions and registry keys.
So you need something as good as Reimage, to fix all the damages that was left behind, to delete all the traces completely….to revive your PC from malicious trojans that may still reside and make your PC slow and to stop from getting re-infected.
When you try to fix this rogue, by running legitimate antivirus you encounter that app cannot be executed warning, task manager disabled, registry editing disabled etc..
So, in order to get rid of Microsoft Security Essentials Fake Alert completely, start your PC in safe mode with networking, If you can`t run the IE, then you should either rename the rogue exe files first and then repair the proxy settings of Internet Explorer.
Rename the Rogue Exe Files and Kill Them from the Task Manager.
Do this go to C:Documents and SettingsUserProfileApplication Data.
It will open the contents of Application Data folder (for Windows XP) or the contents of Roaming folder (for Windows Vista, Windows 7).
Now rename as below
- if you find ‘defender’ rename it to defender1,
- if you find ‘antispy’ rename it to antispy1,
- if you find ‘hotfix’ rename it to hotfix1,
- if you find ‘tmp’ rename it to ‘tmp1′.
It is normal if some files listed above does not exist. Next, reboot your computer. Now you should now be able to connect to internet.
If you have problems renaming hotfix.exe, then do this.
Kill the process from Task Manager using instructions below.
Go to ‘Start’
Click ‘Run’
Type
taskkill /f /im hotfix.exe
next
taskkill /f /im tmp.exe
next
taskkill /f /im antispy.exe
next
taskkill /f /im defender.exe
After killing all the rogue exe files from running, you should be able to connect to internet. If not fix proxy settings as below
Steps for successful Microsoft Security Essentials Fake Alert Removal. Run Internet Explorer, Click Tools –>Internet Options as as shown in the screen below.
Internet Explorer – Tools menu
You will see window similar to the one below.
Internet Explorer – Internet options
Select Connections Tab and click to Lan Settings button. You will see an image similar as shown below.
Internet Explorer – Lan settings
Click Advanced button to open Proxy settings. Copy and paste the following text into “Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with:” go.trendmicro.com;reimagerepairreview.com;reimagepcrepair.com;
When you finished, you will see a screen similar below:
Internet Explorer – Proxy settings
Click OK to save Proxy settings, then Click OK to close Lan Settings and Click OK to close Internet Explorer settings.
Go to http://pcreimage.cz.cc/ and run scan to fix Microsoft Security Essentials Fake Alert
Reimage works by comparing each and every OS system files with the correct files from a web repository of 25 million Windows components. (since Reimage works by comparing with correct file, it can easily find the hiding rootkit, infact this is what a rootkit remover do……dumps a list of files from your hard disk drive and compares it with the list from the recovery console in order to find a hiding virus) This is the sole reason you can get a PC as good as new once you run Reimage, all other antivirus and antimalware programs just delete the virus….but they don’t correct the damage…which results in re-infection and slow performing PC.
Reimage first scans your computer thoroughly; all the files, folders, registry keys and values, drivers, softwares, stacks and then either repair or remove those stuffs that should be there. But it’s not just that it does. They have an enormous web repository of application, drivers, system objects, etc. from where they compare your PC’s files and if corrupted replace it with the healthy ones.

Nap Zapper Sleep Alert $16.8 Everyone has experienced drowsiness while driving . Some of us have actually fallen asleep only to be awakened by the blaring horn of an oncoming car. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that approximately 100,000 police-reported crashes annually (about 1.5% of all crashes) involve drowsiness/fatigue as a principal casual factor. Drowsiness/fatigue may play a role in crashes attributed to other causes. About one million crashes annually – one-sixth of all crashes – are thought to be produced by driver inattention/lapses. Nap Alert Alarm is an innovative, potentially lifesaving anti-drowsiness alarm. It is worn over the ear and has an electronic position sensor. When your head nods forward, it sounds a loud alarm to instantly wake you and alert your passengers. The Nap Alert Alarm is not only designed for drivers, it is also perfect for people who need to be fully alert while on duty, for example, security guards, machine operators and even students while studying or where concentration is required. Makes a perfect gift Uses three AG13 alkaline button cell batteries (included). |
