Stopping Fake Antivirus

dennis — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:05:57 +0000

Fake antivirus is one of the most frequently-encountered and persistent threats on the web. This malware, with over half a million variants, uses social engineering to lure users onto infected websites with a technique called blackhat Search Engine Optimization.

Once the fake antivirus is downloaded onto the user’s computer, the software attempts to scare them into believing their system is infected with threats that do not really exist, and then push users to purchase services to clean up the non-existent threats. The fake antivirus will continue to send these annoying and intrusive alerts until a payment is made.

What’s at risk?

The great threat of fake antivirus is the risk to victims’ personally identifiable information, which is extracted and exploited by the affiliate networks that publish this malware.

To learn how to stop this persistent threat from infecting your network and your users, contact ACS for additional information.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently announced that eligible providers that start participating in the Medicare Electronic Health Records (EHR) incentive programs this year can meet new standards for Meaningful Use Stage 2 in 2014 instead of 2013.

HHS officials said they hope the decision will encourage hospitals and providers to speed up their adoption of EHRs, noting that many providers have delayed participation this year because they’d have to meet Stage 2 requirements in 2013.
