Vitriol: isecurity.exe #virus #malware

Okay, so I was just tooling around the Internet, not realy clicking on anything, when this crazy isecurity.exe thing popped up.


Kaspersky flashed red a couple of times, then shut itself down, as did Peerblock. That's when that isecurity tried to tell me that I had all kinds of viruses, malware, my files were being deleted, etc, etc.


It is a trick. This thing is just some spammer tool's idea of an advertisement to buy their crappy ass product. Unfortunately, it installs itself in your appdata and won't let you access any .exe files or your task manager (it tells you that there's blasterworm.)


I freaked out for like 5 seconds–just frozen horror–then immediately switched off my WiFi. I restored my computer to an earlier point, and now it's gone.


Whoever made this thing should be taken out, castrated, made to drink their own blood, then shot in the head. (Yeah, I know that's pretty fiery talk, but my heart is still fluttering from the drop in adrenaline.)


My best advice: Keep your restore points fresh. Don't buy anything from some weird program popping up. And if you're one of the jerks making this stuff, stay the hell away from me because I'm VERY vindictive.
