? Free Installed Red Cross on Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Trojan Alert?

Red Cross Antivirus is a Fake Antivirus program installed through a Trojan Fake Alert that mimics Microsoft Security Essentials Alert. Red Cross Antivirus is not a legitimate antivirus program but itself a spyware.

This program is distributed with the help of trojan Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert.

The fake "Microsoft Security Essentials Alert" is actually a Trojan that looks very similar to real alert from legitimate Microsoft Security Essentials.

This trojan will try to trick you into thinking that your computer is infected. It will show the warning below

"Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Potential threat details

Microsoft Security Essentials detected potential threats that might compromise your privacy or damage your computer. Your access to these items may be suspended until you take an action. Click 'Show details' to learn more

Unknown Win32/Trojan Severe"

When you click 'Show details' It will then prompt you to clean your computer using the program in order to remove it. When you click on the 'Clean Computer' or 'Apply actions' button, it will state that it was unable to remove it and then prompt you to scan online.

"Unable to remove threat. Click "Scan online" to remove this threat"

If you click on the Scan Online button it will list 35 different anti-virus programs, 30 of which are legitimate anti-virus programs and 5 that are rogues that the Trojan is distributing.

These five rogue programs are:

Red Cross Antivirus

Red Cross Antivirus

Pest Detector 4.1

Major Defense Kit

AntiSpySafeguard or AntiSpy Safeguard

So that you will then 'Free Install' and purchase one of 5 rogue anti-virus programs that this Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Trojan is distributing.

During this fake online scan only the 5 fake anti-virus programs listed above will state that this supposed Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Trojan as an infection like 'Unknown Trojan, Trojan Horse or Rootkit'.

It does this to scare you into clicking the Free Install button next to them that will install the rogue program onto your computer and then reboot your computer. It should be noted that Red Cross Antivirus, Peak protection 2010, Pest Detector 4.1, Major Defense Kit, AntiSpySafeguard or AntiSpy Safeguard theTrojan is distributing are exactly the same. They just have different names and different (GUI) graphical user interfaces.

When the trojan Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert is started, it will automatically download and install Red Cross Antivirus onto your computer without your consent and knowledge and configure it to run when you start Windows.

When Red Cross Antivirus is started, it will imitate a system scan and detect a lot of various infections that will not be fixed unless you first purchase the program. Important to know, all of these reported infections are fake and don't actually exist on your computer! So you can safely ignore the scan results.

While Red Cross Antivirus is running, it will block the ability to run any programs as a method to scare you into thinking that your computer is infected with malware.

The following warnings will be shown

What is more, the rogue will flood your computer with warnings and fake security alerts. Some of the alerts:

"The application iexplore.exe was launched successfully but it was forced to shut down due to security reasons.

This happened because the application was infected by a malicious program which might pose a threat for the OS.

It is highly recommended to install the necessary heuristic module and perform a full scan of your computer to exterminate malicious programs from it."

Furthermore, these rogues will also display security alerts from your Windows taskbar that display messages such as:

Warning! Database updated failed!

Database update failed!

Outdated viruses database are not effective can't guarantee adequate protection and security for your PC! Click here to get the full version of the product and update the database!

Warning! Running trial version!

Of course, all of above warnings and alerts nothing more but a scam and like false scan results should be ignored!

As you can see Red Cross Antivirus, is a scam that is designed with one purpose to trick you into purchasing the so-called full version. Do not fall for these virus creators bait into buying the Rogueware and if you already have, you should contact your credit card company and dispute the charges.
