In one of my previous blog posts, I did write about FakeAlert-AG’s fear strategy, that consisted of changing the desktop background, and dropping the legitimate “bugs” screensaver. Well, we’ve seen that in newer variants of this threat the authors of this threat kept the same strategy, but they did change the screensaver to one that is way more scary for computer users…
Yes, you guessed right, the BlueScreen screensaver!!!

As in the previous case, the screensaver chosen by the author(s) of this threat is a legitimate application, this time coming from SysInternals, a company well known for its active contributions to the security community. However, the effect of such a screensaver is such that we’re afraid that it may have tricked several users.

How do you remove it? My screen saver tab has disappeared and it does not appear in add/remove. AVG & other virus softwares don’t find it..
