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.

  2. Thanks for making me to obtain new strategies about computer systems. I also have the belief that certain of the best ways to help keep your laptop in excellent condition is to use a hard plastic material case, or shell, that suits over the top of the computer. A lot of these protective gear usually are model unique since they are manufactured to fit perfectly over the natural housing. You can buy all of them directly from the owner, or through third party places if they are intended for your notebook computer, however not every laptop may have a shell on the market. Again, thanks for your ideas.

Other than that, wonderful blog!

  22. One thing is that often one of the most popular incentives for using your credit card is a cash-back or perhaps rebate provision. Generally, you’ll receive 1-5 back upon various expenses. Depending on the credit cards, you may get 1 again on most acquisitions, and 5 in return on expenses made using convenience stores, gasoline stations, grocery stores along with ‘member merchants’.
