Trojan-Downloader.Adload.pd is a dangerous Trojan program that generates FAKE warning messages in its attempts to trick users into buying a fake spyware remover called Files Secure . Trojan-Downloader.Adload.pd usually creeps into your system when you download and install a fake video codec that is often found in pornographic websites. Once it is installed, Trojan-Downloader.Adload.pd will bombard you with pop-up alerts stating that your PC has been infected with dangerous Trojans and will prompt you to install a "high-tech" anti-spyware application in order to fix the errors. Trojan-Downloader.Adload.pd may display warning messages with different FAKE Trojan names including Trojan.Win32.Agent.akk , Trojan.Win32.Gorshok.a , Trojan.Win32.LinkReplacer , Trojan.Win32.Obfuscated.gx and others.
