alertThere are many fake software out their which looks like genuine, very useful software but actually they are all viruses! I think most of you are familiar with the fake anti viruses which shows a lot of virus threats on your computer and asks to register to remove them, and then it eats your computer! This is also a virus like that which comes as a registry optimizer!

Today I got a mail from Panda Security, it contained the information about this new virus. Its just like the fake Anti virus, first it tells you that your computer have many problems, then the user gets fooled from this message and installs this in their computer… then it scans the system again and asks the user to register to correct the error… the the user goes and registers himself…then that user goes shopping that night and finds out that some one have drained his bank account!!!

But be careful, these viruses are not only draining your account at the moment its installed on your PC it will mess up the whole System by installing many other viruses on your system, happened to me twice in the past year and had to format the system to completely recover from the damage. So my advice is:

We got some screen shots of this virus from Panda Security, and its just like the famous (trusted) Uniblue Registry Booster! So be careful not to mix these two! Take a look at the screen shots yourself! (Note: Screen shots of the virus are aligned Left, Screen shots of the genuine program are aligned right)
