MalwareBytes RootKit Scanner

MalwareBytes, our favorite free malware scanner, now provides a free Root-kit scanner.  Root-kits are small malicious programs that hide in unused boot sectors of your hard drive or in files or folders not visible to the Windows files system and therefore not scanable by standard anti-virus programs.   If your computer continues, and I’m talking every few minutes or hours, to become re-infected with Trojans, Viruses, or Malware then you might have a rootkit.  Rootkits can remain on your computer and re-infect the computer even if you perform a system restore, reload your operating system, or use a manufactures factory installation media.  Add this free small utility to your tool-kit by visiting Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit.

"Malwarebiter" Cyber Threat: DO NOT INSTALL

‘Malwarebiter’ (an obvious attempt to copycat  Malwarebytes, the excellent anti-malware software) is being advertised as the ‘Worlds Greatest Anti-Malware Software.’ It is really a fake Anti-Malware software product that identifies legitimate files as malware and fails to detect any real malware.  In addition, the “Malwarebiter” web site is actually spreading malware, a drive-by exploit in the form of a Zeus Trojan delivered either by Java or a PDF. 

DO NOT VISIT THIS SITE

This is a serious threat but ironically  if you google Malwarebiter, Malwarebytes comes up….just another way for the cyber mafia to damage business and commerce online.

Here is a screenshot of the fake Malwarebiter cyber scam:
