As a tradition this family attacks the legitimate security software and attempts to uninstall the following programs if found installed on the users system.

  • F-Secure
  • Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • NOD32
  • Agnitum
  • Avira AntiVir
  • avast!
  • AVG
  • BitDefender
  • Sophos
  • Kaspersky

This behavior was earlier reported by Temerc here, by Sunbelt here and by S!Ri here.

The rogue removes the legitimate applications in order to protect themselves from being detected. Further they not only try to uninstall Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware program they also use a stolen copy of MBAM database.



Stay away from this family.
