How can virus bypass antivirus?
First hacker make the virus and scan it for virus...
He then looks at the virus definition Anti-Virus gives to his virus
Then Hacker tries to remove that anomaly by changing the code...
He then crypts his virus with a encryption program specially designed to encrypt the viruses known as Crypters. Crypters encrypts the virus code in byte format using encryption algorithms. That way anti-virus won't have a chance to detect it.
But as Anti-Viruses are becoming more strong, the viruses also...
At the time of execution of crypted virus's code has to be decrypted... so that's where AV's hooks catches the virus. To remove this problem virus uses something called Portable Execution. This technique loads the virus code to memory, or into some other program like 'explorer.exe' and executes it. This way virus without even touching the Hard Disk of victim can do it's job and hence bypass the AV, just like a ghost.

Who invented the security tool virus?
No one knows, that's the whole point. If you need help removing it, check this site out:
http://www.2-viruses.com/remove-security-tool
It is completely bogus that "no one knows" as stated above. The money attempting to be collected by the program has to go a bank account that could easily be tracked and the perpetrator/s prosecuted. The reason know one is said to know or more likely that no one is saying who is because there is a lot more money to be made from the infection running rampant and absolutly no money to be made from bringing its creator/s to justice.
The program even has a website! I'm fairly certain the web domain and server space is not paid for directly by the perp or at least I'd hope not. But the server could easily be located by even complete amature hacks and from that point it is simply a matter of spending the time to analyze the data that created the site and or the network packets that maintain it. If the site were created in house rather than over the internet that would make things even easier to find the person behind this. There simply is no money in bringing unknown hacks to justice for their crimes thus none of the above gets done.
Heres some food for thought.
If a hackers infection got so far as this program does your computer would be in a lot more trouble that could be fixed by following 5 simple steps of a website to remove it.
Is a hacker going to try and trick you to send money via a very traceable credit card to a even more traceable bank account? Well that could happen but I can assure you almost 99% that you will not know its even happening. Its deffinatly not going to occur through pretty scripted windows that you click on with your mouse.
The whole idea of a hack is to do it without the victim knowing anything until the hacks creator choses to let the victim know. As far as this program gets it would be better and easier to just load a keylogger and packet sender to silently record your next credit card transaction, steal you info, and send it to also deduct an extra $30. That is assuming that the $30 is what they wanted which is what whoever created this wants you to believe. I promise if $30 per person is all they wanted it would have been done silently and much easier coding that this elaborate and flashy maleware.
So, if a hacker didn't make it who did? Well if you find the link between "Security Tool" and its legitimate owner, not just some pawn, I would bet you would shake the computer secuity/repair industry to its foundation.
The above answer is pure speculation, and should be treated as such. Is it true? Who can say? Not the person who wrote it, since you'll notice they didn't provide any proof of this claim.
Does sopcast bring viruses into your computer?
Sopcast obviously does contain a virus and random malware into your computer due to the fact that there is NO FREE TV ONLINE FOR COMPUTERS. Why does Roger sell you a package that says TV on tablets,TV's and other appliances including computers. And besides 78% of the time P2P Channels are loaded with viruses due to the fact that its publicly used. NEVER download "FREE TV SOFTWARE FOR COMPUTERS"

Does toontown give your computer viruses?
Toontown does not give you any virus, if u do get a virus it has to be from another game or website you go to. I have played it for 3 years now but i am too old now. Toontown is really safe, and the down load they tell you to do is so you can access it easily so don't be alarmed. Toontown is owned by Disney and they clean it if they notice a virus, which they never have.
If you download toontown at toontown.com, you're computer will have a BIG viruses! So do NOT download. If you want to play toontown so bad, you can buy it in the store. But I don't know what store and what cost.
Does smile box give you a virus?
I'm wondering the same thing. I love the scrap booking software, but after installing it my system ran extra hard and kept coming out of hybernation....then
after accepting the latest updates I ended up with a Trojan. I'm worried if I should install it on my new laptop or not.
SmileBox
is a popular application that is used to make collages, scrapbooks and slide shows. While the application by it self is not malware
or a virus, the creators of this app are using some deceptive monetizing methods. If you have downloaded this program and installed it without closely checking every installation progress window you will also install a browser toolbar and your homepage will be changed to mystart.smilebox.com
Furthermore SmileBox
could have been installed on your PC while you were installing some free software downloaded from Internet, some software developers are bundling such third party apps to monetize their own programs. As stated above SmileBox
is not a computer security threat by itself though having this software installed on your PC could put your privacy and PC security at risk.Why
should you uninstall
SmileBox
from your computer?
- Smilebox
changes your default search engine (most commonly Google, Bing, etc.) provider to search.smilebox.com
- This app changes your default homepage to mystart.smilebox.com
- SmileBox
can come bundled with third party free software and can install on your computer without your knowledge.
If you have installed SmileBox
on your computer yourself and you are happy with the services that you receive you shouldn't do anything, however the fact that this app uses deceptive monetizing methods which could put your privacy at risk clearly shows that this app should be eliminated from your PC. The choice is yours.
