High Risk
High risk threats typically are remotely exploitable vulnerabilities, which can lead to system compromise. Successful exploitation does not normally require any interaction. May open up communication ports, use polymorphic tactics, stealth installations, and/or anti-spy counter measures. May use a security flaw in the operating system to gain access to your computer. |
| Description:
|
Tro.DesktopScam is a program used to trick the affected user into purchasing certain security applications.
On the infected machine, Tro.DesktopScam will display notifications indicating that the computer is infected. Tro.DesktopScam uses a fake Windows update globe to trick the user into thinking that Microsoft Windows is reporting a spyware infection. Clicking on this notification, directs the user to a pre-defined website to order malware removal software. On certain systems, there may also be the presence of the Security Toolbar.DesktopScam.
