MBAM-Malwarebiter-Careful

[Starbuck]

URGENT:

Malwarebytes mimic site ‘Malwarebiter(dot)com’ hosts fake anti-malware product and spreads malware.

 

ACTION:

Do NOT visit ‘Malwarebiter(dot)com‘ unless you are using a secured environment (i.e. Virtual Machine or Sandbox)

 

DETAILS:

A product known as ‘Malwarebiter’ is being advertised as the ‘Worlds Greatest Anti-Malware Software’ is actually fake Anti-Malware software that detects legitimate files as malware (i.e. False Positives) and fails to detect any real malware.

In addition, the website for ‘Malwarebiter Anti-Malware‘ spread Zeus Trojan malware via a Java or PDF drive-by exploit and it is not advised to visit this site unless you are using a secured environment such as a sandbox application or virtual machine.

And thanks from me too, might be a good idea to warn folk when advising to install the real malwarebytes to beware of this fake, and be sure they get the right website.

Spot on Nev.

We don't want to create any extra work for ourselves in cleaning this rubbish up.
