Alright, as you might have heard, I got my 1,000th pageview yesterday. I am really impressed that quite a few people are interested in this. But I am questioning why this is so interesting to you all. But I will keep writing blog posts, and we will just keep going on. Also, I would like to add that I have a nice spotlight on malware post coming up in two weeks, give or take about two days. So stay tuned.
Now for the actual post: In 2010, one of the meanest rogue antivirus programs I have ever seen shot up overnight. It's name was NavaShield. And this rogue was hardcore right from the start. The installer: 53 MB (very big for an installer.) Once NavaShield was installed, it wanted to be registered. So you could enter in a product key, or you could ask the program to generate it's own key that let you try the program for a week. At that point, Navashield told you that everything was protected, the User Interface was green, looked kind of friendly. But after a week, Navashield got mean. It asks to be registered, which of course requires you to buy it. If you did not do so, It gets real mean, real fast. What it did was play some sound though your speakers, and it started to "white-out" your desktop. If you are someone who wants to stop it via Task Manager, Task Manager is blocked by it. You can try to open a program, it just gets knocked down. And if you tried to restart (good luck,) It would come up again after a few minutes. Thankfully for those infected, it did not run in Safe Mode, and after a while the people that research these rogues had product keys ready. The product key stopped the rogue and allowed you to remove it.
Thanks For 1,000 pageviews guys, I really appreciate it. I'm going to be making more blog posts and then posting them on a schedule. Thank You, now go get on with your day or comment below.
