Fan Check, il malware, e il falso antivirus

Sul profilo di Facebook Security è apparso un messaggio piuttosto allarmante, che avverte gli utenti di fare attenzione alle applicazioni sospette che potrebbero veicolare virus, e in particolare a quei finti antivirus che in realtà sarebbero degli insospettabili malware.

We’re getting reports of malware disguised as anti-virus software that’s using a rumor about a Facebook application to spread. As always, be alert, and if a piece of software seems suspicious, don’t download it. Please share this with your friends.

Insomma, gira la voce che un falso antivirus prometta di liberarvi il computer da una pericolosa applicazione Facebook infetta, mentre l’antivirus stesso sarebbe in realtà un virus.

Una storia complicata ma abbastanza familiare a chi in passato ha scaricato una apps conosciuta come Stalker Check o Fan Check, che prometteva di farvi vedere chi visitava il vostro profilo o le vostre foto. Ebbene, sembra che basti diventare fan dell’applicazione per essere infettati dal virus.

La voce (non confermata però da Symantec) ha fatto il giro del mondo, e gli hacker ne hanno approfittato, creando falsi siti che promettevano di liberare il computer da questo virus, mentre in realtà ne istallavano un altro molto più pericoloso.

Noi di IoChatto vi ricordiamo di non scaricare software sospetto da Facebook, e di segnalare ogni strano comportamento a [email protected] l’indirizzo di posta dedicato alla segnalazione degli abusi su Facebook.

  7. Hello there, I do think your site may be having browser compatibility problems. When I take a look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine however, if opening in IE, it has some overlapping issues. I just wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Other than that, wonderful site!

  10. Thanks for revealing your ideas with this blog. As well, a fantasy regarding the banks intentions while talking about foreclosures is that the loan company will not take my installments. There is a specific amount of time that the bank is going to take payments occasionally. If you are also deep inside the hole, they will commonly require that you pay the particular payment completely. However, i am not saying that they will not take any sort of installments at all. When you and the standard bank can seem to work something out, this foreclosure process may stop. However, should you continue to skip payments beneath new plan, the foreclosed process can pick up where it was left off.

  30. After I originally commented I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I recieve 4 emails with the exact same comment. Perhaps there is an easy method you are able to remove me from that service? Cheers.

  33. I have learned some new issues from your web-site about computers. Another thing I have always imagined is that computer systems have become a specific thing that each house must have for a lot of reasons. They supply you with convenient ways in which to organize the home, pay bills, go shopping, study, listen to music and in many cases watch tv shows. An innovative way to complete these tasks is a laptop computer. These computers are mobile, small, effective and lightweight.
