Smart Internet Protection 2011 is an updated version of the rogue program Personal Internet Security 2011. As a rogue scanner, Smart Internet Protection 2011 does its best to fake the superficial elements of useful anti-malware software, but this is just a false front. All of Smart Internet Protection 2011′s scans, error messages, and other communications and visible activities are full of false information meant to defraud you of both your money and your personal information. Substantial damage may occur to your computer if you allow Smart Internet Protection 2011 to remain unhindered, which makes Smart Internet Protection 2011 an important target for speedy deletion.
Surveying the Foul Nature of Smart Internet Protection 20
In recent times, malware creators have shifted to the tactic of putting a new name and face on old malicious code, and Smart Internet Protection 2011 is just one example of that in action. rogue software like smart Internet Protection 2011 will usually infect computers in an undercover fashion. This may be either by spreading through Trojans or by tricking the user into installing the supposedly helpful program . Smart Internet Protection 2011, like every rogue scanner, thrives on presenting constant warnings of system damage that are false statements to secure the contents of your wallet.
Based on infection records and similarities to other rogue products, Smart Internet Protection 2011 likely comes from Russia. Avoiding contact with Russian-based file sources may help you keep your system uninfected, but as always, the best protection is a reliable and well-known security program that constantly patrols your system for potential threats.
You’ll know very quickly if you have a Smart Internet Protection 2011 infection on your machine, since Smart Internet Protection 2011 will create an icon for itself, display its presence proudly in other ways, and generally be a nuisance. You’ll be rapidly assaulted with a series of error messages, fake results that detect dozens of infections, and other forms of communication intended to alarm you. You needn’t worry about these supposed errors or infections, since Smart Internet Protection 2011 will report them all the time just to get you to buy into Smart Internet Protection 2011′s scam.
Be especially careful not to travel to Smart Internet Protection 2011′s fraudulent website by accident when dealing with this behavior, since many error messages Smart Internet Protection 2011 causes may contain malicious links. Smart Internet Protection 2011′s prolonged presence has also been reported to cause serious instability in infected systems. Smart Internet Protection 2011 may even make running important program s like Task Manager impossible when not booted into Safe Mode.
Smart Internet Protection 2011 is Trickier to Remove than Most, But Not Impossible
Smart Internet Protection 2011 may disable many of the program s you would ordinarily use to remove rogue scanners like it. Some actual security software products have even been reported to be unable to detect Smart Internet Protection 2011 at all. Downloading updates for your security software as soon as it’s available may drastically reduce the chances of such a calamitous event, although there are still no guarantees that removing Smart Internet Protection 2011 will be easy.
Manual removal may be necessary in some cases, but one should generally attempt an anti-malware scanner-based removal of Smart Internet Protection 2011 first. You’re more likely to suffer from an incomplete deletion if you attempt to remove Smart Internet Protection one file at a time yourself. This can allow Smart Internet Protection 2011 or other malware to remain on your computer and get back to causing trouble.
Besides general anti-malware software, there are also more specific program s that target Smart Internet Protection 2011 and similar rogue scanners more particularly, and these may be a good choice if other efforts have failed. You should also be aware that some users have reported a disabled Internet connection immediately after deleting Smart Internet Protection 2011. These settings can usually be returned to normal if one is simply willing to go to the Internet Settings interface in the Control Panel.

Smart Fortress 2012 Description
Smart Fortress 2012 is a recent clone of System Tool, a rogue anti-malware program that’s noted for its characteristic pink-hued interface. Like other members of the Rogue:Win32/Winwebsec family, Smart Fortress 2012 will create fake warning messages and simulated scans that contain dire results to make you believe that your PC is severely infected by multiple types of PC threats. Although Smart Fortress 2012 will offer its purchasable anti-malware services to fix this situation, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers emphasize the fact that Smart Fortress 2012 isn’t able to detect or remove any type of malicious software. Accordingly, the best thing to do with your funds is to save it or spend it on a genuine anti-malware product that can remove Smart Fortress 2012, which should not, under normal circumstances, be removed by manual means that can risk damaging your PC.
Being Smarter Than Smart Fortress 2012′s Fake Features
Smart Fortress 2012 is distributed via drive-by-download attacks and deceptive websites that may be identified by their own labels, such as Rogue:JS/Winwebsec. Smart Fortress 2012′s presence also may be facilitated by Trojans or other PC threats that install Smart Fortress 2012 without your consent, and it’s recommended that you scan your entire PC after you’ve found any signs of Smart Fortress 2012′s existence. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have noted that Smart Fortress 2012 can be recognized with ease due to its trademark System Tool clone appearance and other symptoms that are extremely visible such as:
Changes to your desktop wallpaper that replace it with a threatening message.
All non-essential program s being blocked, along with accompanying warning messages.
Fake alerts that come in a range of formats, including toolbar pop-ups and firewall warnings.
Samples of some of the dizzying array of Smart Fortress 2012′s warning messages are shown below for reference:

Breaking Out of Smart Fortress 2012′s Software Fraud Scheme
Smart Fortress 2012′s only goal is to badger you into spending money on its fake software, but buying Smart Fortress 2012 is utterly unnecessary to remove Smart Fortress 2012 (and its related problems) from your PC. SpywareRemove.com malware experts also recommend against trusting other rogue anti-malware applications from Smart Fortress 2012′s family, which spans a wide range of fake brand names, such as Personal Internet Security, Smart Protection 2011, Smart Internet Protection 2011, Smart Protection 2012, System Tool, MS Removal Tool, Security Sphere 2012, Winweb Security and Essential Cleaner.
Because Smart Fortress 2012 will try to shut down unrelated program s, including anti-malware program s that could safely delete Smart Fortress 2012, SpywareRemove.com malware analysts recommend that you use Safe Mode or similar alternatives to prevent Smart Fortress 2012 from being launched. Safe Mode can be accessed on most Windows computers by tapping F8 during the system boot but prior to the Windows loading screen. This will give you the environment that you need to remove Smart Fortress 2012 and other PC threats via system scans without being attacked.

| Developer(s) | Bakasoftware, Innovative Marketing, Inc. |
|---|---|
| Operating system | Microsoft Windows |
| Type | Rogue software |
Names
MS Antivirus has a number of other names. It is also known as XP Antivirus, Vitae Antivirus, Windows Antivirus, Win Antivirus, Antivirus Pro, Antivirus Pro 2009, Antivirus 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 360, Internet Antivirus Plus, System Antivirus, Spyware Guard 2008 and 2009, Spyware Protect 2009, Winweb Security 2008, System Security, Malware Defender 2009, Ultimate Antivirus2008, Vista Antivirus, General Antivirus, AntiSpywareMaster, Antispyware 2008, XP AntiSpyware 2008, 2009 and 2010, Antivirus Vista 2010, WinPCDefender, Antivirus XP Pro, Anti-Virus-1, Antivirus Soft, Antispyware Soft, Antivirus System PRO, Antivirus Live, Vista Anti Malware 2010, Internet Security 2010, XP Antivirus Pro, Security Tool, VSCAN7, and Total Security.Symptoms of infection
Each variant has its own way of downloading and installing itself onto a computer. MS Antivirus is made to look functional to fool a computer user into thinking that it is a real anti-virus system in order to convince the user to "purchase" it. In a typical installation, MS Antivirus runs a scan on the computer and gives a false spyware report claiming that the computer is infected with spyware. Once the scan is completed, a warning message appears that lists the spyware ‘found’ and the user has to either click on a link or a button to remove it. Regardless of which button is clicked -- "Next" or "Cancel" -- a download box will still pop up. This deceptive tactic is an attempt to scare the Internet user into clicking on the link or button to purchase MS Antivirus. If the user decides not to purchase the program , then they will constantly receive pop-ups stating that the program has found infections and that they should register it in order to fix them. This type of behavior can cause a computer to operate slower than normal.
MS Antivirus will also occasionally display fake pop-up alerts on an infected computer. These alerts pretend to be a detection of an attack on that computer and the alert prompts the user to activate, or purchase, the software in order to stop the attack. More seriously it can cause a picture of a Blue Screen of Death to be pasted over the screen and then for a fake startup image to be displayed telling the user to buy the software. The registry is also modified so the software runs at system startup. The following files may be downloaded to an infected computer:
- MSASetup.exe
- MSA.exe
- MSA.cpl
- MSx.exe
Depending on the variant, the files will have different names and therefore can appear or be labeled differently. For example, Antivirus 2009 will have the .exe file name a2009.exe.
In addition, in an attempt to make the software seem legitimate, MS Antivirus can give the computer symptoms of the "viruses" that it claims are on the computer. For example, some shortcuts on the desktop may be changed to link instead to porn websites.
Malicious actions
Most variants of this malware will not be overtly harmful, as they usually will not steal a user's information (as spyware) nor critically harm a system. However, the software will act to inconvenience the user by frequently displaying popups that prompt the user to pay to register the software in order to remove non-existent viruses. Some variants are more harmful; they display popups whenever the user tries to start an application or even tries to navigate their hard drive, especially after they restart their computer. It does this by modifying the Windows registry. This can clog the screen with repeated pop-ups, potentially making the computer virtually unusable. It can also disable real antivirus program s to protect itself from removal. Whichever variant infects a computer, MS Antivirus always uses system resources when running, potentially making an infected computer run slower than before.
The malware can also block access to known spyware removal sites and in some instances, searching for "antivirus 2009" (or similar search terms) on a search engine will result in a blank page or an error page. Some variants will also redirect the user from the actual Google search page to a false Google search page that states that the user has a virus and should get Antivirus 2009 with a hotlink to the virus’s page.
AntiVirus2009 can also disable legitimate anti-malware program s and prevent the user from opening or re-enabling them. Anti-malware applications disabled by AntiVirus2009 include McAfee, Spybot - Search & Destroy, AVG, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, and Superantispyware.
MS Antivirus is constantly updated and re-released to prevent detection by common legitimate anti-virus scannersEarnings
In November 2008, it was reported that a hacker known as NeoN hacked the Bakasoftware's database, and posted the earnings of the company received from XP Antivirus. The data revealed the most successful affiliate earned USD$158,000 in a week.Court actions
On December 2, 2008 the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland issued a temporary restraining order against Innovative Marketing, Inc. and ByteHosting Internet Services, LLC after receiving a request from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). According to the FTC, the combined malware of WinFixer, WinAntivirus, DriveCleaner, ErrorSafe, and XP Antivirus has fooled over one million people into purchasing the software marketed as security products. The court also froze the assets of the companies in an effort to provide some monetary reimbursement to affected victims. The FTC established claims that the companies established an elaborate ruse that duped Internet advertising networks and popular Web sites into carrying their advertisements.
According to the FTC complaint, the companies charged in the case operated using a variety of aliases and maintained offices in the countries of Belize and Ukraine (Kiev). ByteHosting Internet Services is based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The complaint also names defendants Daniel Sundin, Sam Jain, Marc D’Souza, Kristy Ross, and James Reno in its filing, along with Maurice D’Souza, who is named relief defendant, for receiving proceeds from the scheme.

Windows 7 Repair Virus Removal Guide
Windows 7 Repair Virus Removal Guide
Windows 7 Repair is a fake computer optimization application made specifically for Windows 7. Windows 7 Repair will generally infect the computer without user permission and therefore will look like Windows 7 Repair is part of Windows 7 since the user didn’t install the application. By having Windows 7 in the name of the program , there are many users who believe that Windows 7 Repair is a diagnostic tool for Windows 7. The program will display system information on the program to make the user further think that Windows 7 repair is a diagnostic tool. While these issues may exist as shown by Windows 7 Repair, there is a low chance since Windows 7 Repair will display the same messages on all computers. The application will display the same results on all computers and will generally find 11 issues. Windows 7 Repair is designed for Windows 7 but there are also applications for Windows XP and Windows 7. Windows XP Repair is for Windows XP and Windows Vista Repair is for Windows Vista. These three fake applications replace Windows XP Restore, Windows Vista Restore, and Windows 7 Restore. They all have a scanner module, stardard module, and advanced module. Windows 7 Repair will make changes to Windows settings.
We recommend performing research from previous users if you plan to manually remove Windows 7 Repair. The comments posted by users who were infected by Windows Restore, the comments posted by users who were infected by Windows Recovery, and the comments posted by users who were infected by Windows XP Recovery may provide insight into the successful removal of Windows 7 Repair. Windows Restore and Windows Recovery are previous versions of Windows 7 Repair.
If you are unable to run the removal tool, or are unable to run any program s in general, you may need to stop the processes associated with Windows 7 Repair with task manager. If task manager has been blocked by Windows 7 Repair, try using Process Explorer. Also, try renaming the removal tool to iexplore.exe or to a random series of characters, which may allow the program to not be blocked by Windows 7 Repair. If you would rather manually remove Windows 7 Repair, we recommend checking our removal tips which will help to remove Windows 7 Repair.
Important - Windows 7 Repair will hide other files and folders in the computer in an attempt to try and convince the user that there are issues with the hard drive. Therefore, by turning on “show hidden files and folders,” the user will be able to see their files. In Windows 7, you can search “hidden files and folders” in the Windows Search Bar to find the folder options. To bring up the Windows Search Bar, click on the Windows 7 logo in the bottom left hand portion of the screen, which will bring up the program s. In Windows XP, the user will need to go to tools and then go to folder options in the file manager. In folder options, click “View” and scroll down to “Hidden files and folders.” This will allow the user to see the hidden files and folders. In order too make these files unhidden, you will need to go to the following location.
Windows Vista & Windows 7 – C:\Users\
Windows XP – C:\Documents and Settings\
The user will need to locate the folder with their username. They will then need to right click on the folder and left click on properties. This will bring up the properties. Deselect the hidden box and click ok. A box will come up and select to apply changes to the folder, subfolder, and files.
Below are some warnings shown by Windows 7 Repair. Windows 7 Repair is not a diagnostic tool from Microsoft and will display the following warnings on all computers. On a new computer, the following warnings will be shown.
“Hard Drive Failure
