Remove "System Check" (Uninstall Guide)

Don't Copy From This Blog...

Protected by Copyscape Plagiarism Detection
System Check is malicious software posing as Windows system utility. Although, it may look like a real thing, it isn't! You are actually dealing with scareware and the newest TDL rootkit. Once installed, this fake system utility starts throwing lots of bogus error messages, blocks Task Manager and other programs (including antivirus software), hides all icons and program shortcuts. It does the same thing in safe mode too. As you can tell already, it's a nasty virus. In a previous writeup, we analyzed another rogue program called System Fix. It's pretty much the same type of infection. The two most important things to remember when removing this virus: do not purchase it and do not delete temporary Windows files stored in %Temp% folder using CCleaner or similar software. To remove System Check malware from your computer, please follow the removal instructions below.



Common symptoms of System Check infection:
  • false error messages, "Hard drive clusters are partly damaged" and similar
  • all icons and shortcuts are gone

theworld.exe runs at star-up. You can open up the System Configuration Utility in Windows, go to Startup tab and uncheck theworld.exe. It won't pop-up anymore. Some users find it difficult to completely uninstall TheWorld Browser, but normally you should be able to uninstall theworld.exe without any problems using an uninstall program or using the Add/Remove Programs control panel.

Security Rating: Safe

However, if the file 'theworld.exe' runs from %WinDir% or %Temp% then there is a great chance that it's actually malware posing as legit program. Across all our reports the file theworld.exe has sometimes been a threat. So, if you didn't install TheWorld Browser but the process is running, your computer is probably infected with malicious software. It could be Trojan-Dropper, Generic.PWStealer or similar infection. In such case, you should scan your computer with anti-malware software.

Remove Trojan Ramage (Uninstall Guide)

Don't Copy From This Blog...

Protected by Copyscape Plagiarism Detection
Trojan.Ramage, aliases Win32/Ontonphu and Win32/Flooder.Ramagedos, is a Trojan that servers as a back door. It is downloaded and dropped by other malicious programs and can be controlled remotely. This Trojan targets Windows OS. Although, it's not the most sophisticated piece of malicious code, Trojan Ramage may perform a distributed denial-of-service attack (DoS/DDoS) and collect certain information on the compromised computer. It then sends gathered information (operating system version and volume serial number) to a remote server.

When executed, the trojan usually copies itself into the 'Application Data' folder. However, it may drop additional files in Windows system folders as well. Trojan.Ramage creates the following files:
  • %UserProfile%\Application Data\ODBC.exe
  • %UserProfile%\Application Data\Intel.exe
  • %UserProfile%\Application Data\Netscape.exe
  • %UserProfile%\Application Data\Intel.exe
  • %UserProfile%\Application Data\Sysinternals.exe
  • %UserProfile%\Application Data\WinRAR.exe%
  • UserProfile%\Application Data\Policies.exe
  • %Windir%\Sxc\svchost.exe
  • %System%\drivers\svclock.exe
The Trojan adds various keys to Windows registry to runs automatically after a system reboot. Trojan Ramage adds itself to the Windows firewall authorized applications list to avoid anti-virus software detection and by-pass Windows firewall. To remove Trojan Ramage, please scan your computer with anti-malware software. If you need help removing this Trojan, please leave a comment below. Good luck and be safe online!

How to Remove Security Monitor 2012 (Uninstall Guide)

Don't Copy From This Blog...

Protected by Copyscape Plagiarism Detection
Security Monitor 2012 is a rogue anti-virus program that mimics genuine security software and gives false warnings about viruses. What's the aim of this malware? To make you think that your computer is infected with spyware and other bad stuff and to trick you into paying for bogus software. In other words, to make tons of money for cyber criminals. It's a clone of Security Solution 2011, so it's not a new rogue anti-virus but just a slightly modified old one. I could go on and on about this little nasty bug... But I will stick to the facts because I haven't bought Christmas gifts yet and I'm running out of time.

So, Security Monitor 2012 mainly relies on social engineering or fraud and software vulnerabilities. It has to be manually installed but in some cases it can be dropped on the system by Trojan downloaders and similar malware. Update your software! Once installed, Security Monitor 2012 pretends to scan your computer for viruses, spyware and Trojans. Of course, it finds numerous critical infections. Why I'm not surprised? It's constantly asking to buy anti-virus software from securitymonitor2012.com which then redirects users to a payment processor onlinestarpayment.com. DON'T buy it! If you've been hit by this rogue antivirus program, please follow the instructions below to remove Security Monitor 2012 and regain control of your computer again.



Security Monitor 2012 blocks the execution of other programs, mainly Windows system utilities and genuine anti-virus software, by saying they are infected.

Security Monitor 2012
The application mspaint.exe was launched successfully but it was forced to shut down due to security reasons. This application infected by a malicious software program which might present damage for the PC. It is highly recommended to make a full scan of your computer to exterminate the malicious programs from it.
The only exception is Internet Explorer. You can still open it. Apparently, they don't want to block the way so that you can purchase their bogus software. It also displays a fake Windows Security Center alert saying that your computer is infected with Screen.Grab.J.exe or Win64.BIT.Looker.exe.



Security Monitor 2012 will also infect your Task Manager and will not allow you to run Windows updates. So, as I said, it's truly annoying bug. Thankfully, it's not as dangerous as banking Trojans and spyware.

You can remove Security Monitor 2012 using anti-malware software (recommended) or manually but I'm not sure this is a permanent fix. So, just enter the cracked reg key given below. The rogue program won't block anti-malware software anymore. Then download recommend anti-malware software and run a full system scan. This is quick and effective. If you choose to remove it manually, I'm here to help you. Just leave a comment below if you need extra help. Last, but not least, if you've already paid for it, please contact your credit card company immediately and dispute the charges. Good luck and be safe online! Marry X-mas everybody ;-)


Quick removal guide:

1. Update: You can use this cracked serial key LIC2-00A6-234C-B6A9-38F8-F6E2-0838-F084-E235-6051-18B3 to register the fake antivirus in order to stop the fake security alerts. Just click the Activate button and enter the reg key manually. Don't worry, this is completely legal.

Once this is done, you are free to install anti-malware software and remove the rogue anti-virus program from your computer properly.

2. Download recommended anti-malware software (Spyware Doctor) and run a full system scan to remove this virus from your computer.

Antivirii 2011 is a rogue anti-virus program meant to scare you into paying for the bogus program to remove fictitious virus threats. This rogue AV was built using Napalm Rogue Builder which allows you to create custom rogue anti-virus programs in just a few minutes. You can name your rogue anti-virus whatever you want, add custom purchase page, change file names and paths were the rogue AV should be installed. But Antivirii 2011 it's not the fist if its kind. Earlier this year, cyber criminals were distributing another fake antivirus program called Antivirus Clean 2011 which was built using the same commercial rogue av builder. Both rogue AVs report non-existent infections on compromised computers, both share the same characteristics and GUI. Despite this, the malicious code for Antivirii 2011 is still only detected by roughly 20% the anti-virus companies on VirusTotal. Coming across a fake antivirus scam can be scary, this is way, we've got the removal instructions to help to remove Antivirii 2011 and associated malware from your computer. Please follow the steps in the removal guide below.

The majority of the sites that we found affected by Trojan-downloaders were used to distribute Antivirii 2011, other scareware, and spyware. However, we still believe that this rogue anti-virus won't become a widespread infection. FakeAV programs appear legitimate, they create speech bubbles and genuine looking security alerts to scare you into thinking that your computer is infected. To minimize your chances of being affected by a fake antivirus scam, you should only download and install software from official websites. Once Antivirii 2011 is installed, it will pretend to scan your computer for malicious software, you know spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers and similar stuff. It blocks Task Manager and some other Windows tools/utilities. It may block your web browser as well. If you can't use it, reboot your PC in safe mode with networking. Of course, it displays fake warnings that say things like:
Your computer is in danger!
Antivirii 2011 has detected some serious threats to your computer!
These viruses need to be eliminated immedeately ! Please click this icon to remove threats.
Your system is infected!
Your computer is compromised by hackers, adware, malware and worms!

This is BS. Antivirii 2011 doesn't even have a registration key. I mean if you buy it, you probably won't get your registration key. So, don't even think about buying this peace of malicious code. However, if you though it was real and bought it, then please contact your credit card immediately and dispute the charges. This is the only way to get your money back.
