If you have received a video link from your Facebook contact and it has turned to be a pornographic video, it is probably Facebook Child Porn Virus. The so-called virus spreads via Facebook messages, and when the video is opened, it also shared with the contacts automatically. When the user opens the message, he or she find a heading which reads “watch this if you are curious”. As you can see, the heading does not imply that the video is inappropriate, especially for children. It is important to remove the infection and, without a doubt, protect the PC against similar instances in the future, especially if you have a child who owns a Facebook profile. Read more »

You need to keep the system protected against Rogue:JS/FakeAlert because this malicious threat could expose Windows backdoors and enable schemers to infiltrate malware onto your operating system. The clandestine infection acts as a backdoor itself as it corrupts HTML pages and displays fictional information. For example, the threat can activate a fictitious online scanner. If you land on this corrupted page, the fake scanner immediately starts examining your PC and then tries to convince you that you need to install a special program to remove all allegedly existing threats. Note that there are legitimate online scanners; however, this is a vulnerability that cyber criminals have employed to trick careless Windows users into infecting their own systems without even knowing it. All in all, having Rogue:JS/FakeAlert deleted is important and Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers have analyzed the infection to assist you. Read more »

Adware:Win32/Addlyrics is a irritating computer program which comes from the same group of spyware as FindLyrics Adware. Even though the program is supposed to provide you with lyrics search when watching YouTube videos, the main objective behind it is advertising. Anti-Spywre-101.com researchers have revealed that the application is supported through third-party advertisement which helps them generate profit. Whilst some advertisements are harmless and could even b used to acquire beneficial services, you should not click on any ads presented to you by the adware. Since the services of the program are money-driven, there is a possibility that some of the presented adverts are unreliable and possibly even controlled by cyber criminals. What would happen if you clicked on any corrupted ads? You could be routed to malicious websites, tricked into installing malware or spending money on worthless products. This is the main reason why we recommend having Adware:Win32/Addlyrics deleted. Read more »
