Halt! Critical System Warning

Posted: September 15, 2008

"Halt! Critical System Warning" is a title displayed in a deceptive warning message that is generated by the creators of the rogue Vista Antivirus 2008 program. The alert with "Halt! Critical System Warning" is intended to trick you into buying a commercial version of VistaA ntivirus 2008.

Once you click on the fake "Halt! Critical System Warning" alert, you will be redirected to Vista Antivirus 2008's homepage or another rogue website where you will be forced to buy the full version of this rogue anti-spyware program.

Usually, "Halt! Critical System Warning" is displayed by a Trojan Zlob, which downloads and installs itself together with fake video codec, often found in porno web sites. We recommend the immediate removal of Trojan Zlob, "Halt! Critical System Warning" and Vista Antivirus 2008 because they are a serious security risk to your computer.
