AUTOMATICALLY INSTALLES SECURITY TOOLS
Updated: 03 Jun 2010 | 7 comments
IN ONE OF MACHINES IN OUR LAN, WE HAVE SEEN THAT SECURITY TOOL IS INSTALLED that display fake security warnings and promote SecurityTool malware AND and constantly display warnings/notifications about serious security threats and privacy issues.It shows that you have to purchase the software.What can I do for that?

If the existing Defs doesn't clean the infection
Contact Tech Support and they can assist you in collecting and analysing the Logs of the system.
If it is a new varient, we have to submit the files and they will come up with defs
We have the same problems
We have the same problems too. I don't understand why SEP doesn't block these very annoying programs that just try to get people to purchase some crap software. The only solution I have found so far, is if you have a server running, then add the MD5 checksum of the files to application blocking. My only guess that they are not blocked by SEP, is because they install like any other normal program. Maybe because they don't do any harm except cause annoying popup fake scans. What sucks is they have so many different ones out there. Here are some that I have recently added:

As a temporary workaround
As a temporary workaround you can block them using application control
But always remember to submit the fles to security response to get definitions for it.
