Win32:Delf-GD is a technical label for the Blekko Spam Free Search Bar, which, ironically, has been noted as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). Although Win32:Delf-GD's toolbar does display itself as an independently-identifiable program that's associated with reputable companies, Win32:Delf-GD is resistant to normal deletion methods, such as removal via the Windows Control Panel. Because Win32:Delf-GD alters your browser's content automatically, your anti-malware programs may issue new...

Also, known by the alias Gen:Variant.Barys.2763, Mal/VB-AER is a PC threat that's distributed in fake e-mail messages that pretend to display photographs of an acquaintance. Strongly echoing an earlier spamming campaign that distributes the Trojan dropper Mal/Behav-043 under similar pretenses, Mal/VB-AER e-mail messages appear to be targeting primarily Francophiles although their French is clumsily-written and appears to have been created with a little help from translator tools. Opening the...

Mahdi (from Arabic, literally: guided one, or more colloquially: messiah) is a form of spyware that appears to be used primarily for sabotaging the infrastructures of Middle Eastern countries, with a special focus on unlucky Iran. Although Mahdi lacks the technical sophistication of similarly-purposed PC threats like Skywiper (also known as Flame), Mahdi is still a significant threat due to its extremely invasive information-stealing functions. PCs in the Middle East are considered at...

This seamless attack is distributed by fake Facebook message spam that's sent to random e-mail addresses, with an accompanying link to Troj/JSRedir-HW. Because Troj/JSRedir-HW's initial redirect forces your browser to load malicious content that can be used to install PC threats on your computer automatically, SpywareRemove.com malware...

W32/Patched.UA is a PC threat that corrupts the Windows Services Control Manager (the file services.exe) so that W32/Patched.UA may launch itself automatically and stay hidden while W32/Patched.UA conducts other attacks. Because W32/Patched.UA usually is discovered next to other PC threats, including high-level threats such as rootkits, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers encourage you to use anti-malware detection methods that can find and remove any type of infection from your PC along...

The primary and potentially sole symptom of a Troj_Sirefef.kby-related attack is a series of alerts from relevant anti-malware and security programs, and the high degree of sophistication in Troj_Sirefef.kby's ability to hide itself makes Troj_Sirefef.kby a danger...

JAVA_SMSSEND.AB is a Trojan that spreads as a fake version of Skype application which was created by scammers. JAVA_SMSSEND.AB attempts to benefit from Android users.
