Oibruvv.com

Posted: February 3, 2012

Oibruvv.com Screenshot 1Oibruvv.com is a fake Facebook page that's promoted via spam on the real Facebook website. Although this site has been blocked by many PC security-related companies, reports of successful Oibruvv.com attacks are still occurring as of early February 2012. Oibruvv.com may appear to offer an interesting movie link and an update for your media player, but SpywareRemove.com malware researchers caution against downloading anything from Oibruvv.com, since Oibruvv.com has been confirmed to distribute browser hijackers and other PC threats. If you see symptoms of infection by an Oibruvv.com-related PC threat, such as warning messages that imply that you're trying to access Oibruvv.com when you're attempting to load an unrelated website, you should consider scanning your PC with an anti-malware application to remove all malicious software in a clean sweep.

Oibruvv.com – a Familiar Face with a Lie for You to Download

Oibruvv.com, despite its differing URL, looks very similar to a Facebook page. Since spammers have spread links to Oibruvv.com throughout Facebook, if you're not in the habit of double-checking web addresses, you may click your way to Oibruvv.com without realizing that Oibruvv.com is a fraudulent website. SpywareRemove.com malware experts discourage interaction with links from suspicious sources, links that are poorly or inaccurately described, or (particularly) links that conceal their web addresses without good reason.

This Facebook-esque hoax continues on with Oibruvv.com's proffering of a fake video that's entitled 'DAD WALKS IN ON DAUGHTER!! EMBARESSING.' Although Oibruvv.com does offer a link to update your video player, this link doesn't contain any sort of movie player update; instead, it contains a PC threat that's been known to cause symptoms that are reminiscent of web browser hijackers and redirect attacks. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend that you scan your PC after any brush with Oibruvv.com, since drive-by-download attacks may be used to install related PC threats even if you don't install this 'update' of your own free will.

A Surefire Way to Catch the Oibruvv.com Bug

PC threats that are linked to Oibruvv.com can be identified due to the presence of repetitive and obnoxious malware warnings that trigger whenever you try to load any site. The exact text of these warnings can vary, depending on your choices in web browsers and related security software, but one sample that SpywareRemove.com malware experts have noted is shown below:
