Fake Windows Defender Prevented Malicious Software Tech Support is hard to miss once it slithers onto your system and activates its attack. This malware infection blocks and locks your screen with a blue window that poses as a Windows product key authentication screen; however, in reality, it is nothing else than a fake alert. We have seen similar threats in the past years emerging from time to time, including “License has Expired +1-888-303-5121,” “Windows Security Alert! 1-888-220-3607,” and “Fake Activation Support 1-877-784-7461.” Our malware researchers at anti-spyware-101.com say that these infections are typical technical support scams that try to fool unsuspecting computer users with a fake alert to call a given customer support phone number. However, calling this number could land you in the center of a scam in which you could lose hundreds of your hard-earned dollars if you are not careful. We recommend that you remove Fake Windows Defender Prevented Malicious Software Tech Support the moment you notice its presence. Read more »

Stg-234i23r9-sph.com is a suspicious search tool that was created by Bontio Media. According to Anti-Spyware-101.com malware researchers, the same company is responsible for Startpage-home.com, Search-startpage.com, Homepage-web.com, and other browser hijackers, which, by the way, are identical to the one we are discussing in this report. It is not exactly clear why Bontio has created so many versions of what appears to be the same tool, but our guess is that the hijackers work as advertising platforms that can help make money. Obviously, the more platforms are used to promote sponsored content, the more money can be made. In general, it does not look like the suspicious search tool was created to assist you. In fact, we do not classify it as a beneficial tool at all, and it is our recommendation for you to remove Stg-234i23r9-sph.com from your web browsers. If you continue reading this report, you will learn all about this suspicious search provider and its elimination. Read more »

At first glance, Yardood.com may look like a customized version of the Yahoo! Search engine. However, our research shows that the search engine may also change to Google, so it is suspicious already. In fact, we believe that this search engine is most commonly used for browser hijacker infections, so if your default homepage suddenly changed without your permission to Yardood.com, the chances are that your system’s security has been compromised. You should do everything you can to remove all the potential threats from your computer, and it goes without saying that this search engine should be at the top of your “to remove” list. Read more »
