Threat Description:

Backdoor.RAdmin.ab is a digital pest that serves as malware that opens security holes in a compromised computer system to subsequently enable hackers to get hidden but almost unlimited access to the information kept therein. Backdoor.RAdmin.ab usually poses as some useful file to download to ease and facilitate the use of certain computer processes; this is why it’s an issue of critical importance to treat any potential download with caution. Backdoor.RAdmin.ab will usually cause the injected system to operate slower. One of the worst things about this hazardous trojan virus is its stealthy essence, which means it can run inside your OS and gradually deploy its dirty job without getting detected by the security software installed on the compromised PC. Backdoor.RAdmin.ab may collect some data which is strictly confidential, e.g. financial details and passwords. Like you can assume, there can be nothing good if cyber criminals get hold of these private credentials.

Threat Description:

The parasitic cyber creature called PWSteal.Bividon must be banned from accessing your computer or else you may suffer some bad consequences. The biggest threat behind this infection is its stealth and bad intensions. PWSteal.Bividon can infiltrate even those PCs that are well virus-protected. It uses backdoor tactics to attack computers so even a minor security split spotted by this malware will do. Once integrated with your system without your knowledge, PWSteal.Bividon can gather your private information and record your keystrokes. The whole thing will not stop at constant monitoring of your activity; PWSteal.Bividon will be sure to try finding ways to send the collected data to its masters. It’s not comforting to know that your personal details such as passwords, credit card numbers etc. get into criminals’ greedy hands. Additionally, PWSteal.Bividon meddles with your Windows Registry and stuffs your system up with unnecessary junk files – this makes your PC run slower than usual.

Virus.Win32.Induc.a Description:

Virus.Win32.Induc.a (aka W32/Induc or Trojan.Crypt) is a new and quite mysterious computer infection which is keeping PC security analysts somewhat confused regarding the right classification type for this parasite. Unlike a conventional virus, Virus.Win32.Induc.a tends to inject files indirectly, in other words, this menace does not go contaminating all vulnerable entities of the compromised system; instead, Virus.Win32.Induc.a infects the services compiler files, which will spread the infection further. In addition, Virus.Win32.Induc.a exhibits some traits of a worm and a trojan, but still isn’t a typical one. The distinguishing feature of Virus.Win32.Induc.a is the fact that is injects programs based on Delphi versions 4.0 through 7.0. Consequently, all Delphi-based software installed on the challenged PC gets contaminated. Such unusual distribution method makes it hard for antivirus software to detect and prevent Induc from spreading.

The rogue has been using Trojan.Mdropper.AC to scare people into downloading and registering its commercial version. Well, it’s certainly easier to swindle a frightened computer use – that’s what Personal Antivirus is all about.

Trojan.W32.Pavsee.C Description:

W32.Pavsee.C (aka W32 Pavsee C or Pavsee.C virus) is a denomination for a virus that shows up in exaggerated system tray alerts triggered by Personal Antivirus (alias PAV) fake anti-spyware program. W32.Pavsee.C is mentioned on Personal Antivirus pop-ups, just like the previously described Trojan.Win32.Agent.Azsy. According to the obsessive ads about W32.Pavsee.C, the virus affects files with .exe and .com extensions in all mapped computer drives. The alert suggests blocking or ignoring the W32.Pavsee.C worm. Choosing to block W32.Pavsee.C will redirect you to a page that advertises Personal Antivirus fraud and recommends registering its licensed software for a certain sum of money. So much for the malicious tactics employed by PAV rogue. It’s critical to abstain from installing Personal Antivirus, no matter how persuasive its alerts may seem.

Trojan.Win32.Agent.Ayed Description:

Trojan.Win32.Agent.Ayed (aka Win32.Agent.Ayed) is a cyber-infection that may create “favorable” circumstances for a major malware flood in one’s Operating System. Trojan.Win32.Agent.Ayed infiltrates using rootkit tactics – therefore its intrusion usually bypasses a PC user’s notice and takes place imperceptibly for security software installed on the compromised computer.
