WI345d

Posted: July 9, 2009

WI345d is a bogus threat that appears on security alerts typically created and issued by the fake spyware remover called Windows Security Suite. These WI345d pop-up windows read as follows:

"Windows Security Alert!
To help protect your computer, Windows Firewall has blocked some features of this program. Do you want to keep blocking this program? Name: WI345d; Publisher: Unknown... Windows Firewall has blocked this program from accepting connections from the Internet or a network. If you recognize the program or trust the publisher, you can unblock it. When should I unblock a program?"

This WI345d security alert is nothing more than a fake, and ignoring it will unfortunately prove a fruitless endeavor. Following the prompts, however, will cause you to end up wasting money and purchasing the rogue spyware remover Windows Security Suite. To avoid both scenarios, remove WI345d and Windows Security Suite from your PC as soon as they are detected.
