Cyber criminals seem to be constantly discovering new tricks to reach our computers, as in one of their latest efforts they have created a tool that claims to warn you if there is an outbreak of the disease Ebola in a nearby area. It is now known that the "signs" of the internet, use every big news to deceive the unsuspecting users. We would not be impressed to see a malicious campaign that uses the name of Amphipolis.
In order to benefit from such a "service", users have to download and install an application on their computer.
Right now the malicious toolbar exists in ebolawarnings (dot) com. The exe file that suggests you download the site is identified as malicious in 18 out of 53 antivirus engines working with VirusTotal, although initially the detection it was little for him.
Mr. Jovi Umawing of Malwarebytes analyzed the file and found that it "sits" on the toolbar search of your system during installation, displaying a plethora of offers, which are most likely part of an affiliate marketing campaign, with the result that scammers collect money from them for each installation of the program.
After the user installs the program and forcefully installs the minor programs, your browser (browser) καταστρέφεται με πολλούς τρόπους, όπως η αλλαγή της μηχανής αναζήτησης, φόρτωση ιστοσελίδων θυγατρικών εταιρειών όταν ανοίγετε μία νέα καρτέλα στο πρόγραμμα περιήγησης, ή μια σελίδα που προσφέρει ακόμη περισσότερα προγράμματα για να κατεβάσετε.
Apart from that, system performance is visibly affected by unwanted program shortcuts added to desktop of your system.
