Fake AntiVirus
Conficker also installs fake antivirus software
by Elinor Mills
Researchers have discovered another feature of the Conficker worm that provides an additional clue about the intent of the creators--the worm installs malware that masquerades as antivirus software, Trend Micro said on Friday.
The worm, which has infected millions of Windows-based computers on the Internet, is downloading a program called Spyware Protect 2009 and displaying warning messages saying that the computer is infected and offering to clean it up for $49.95, according to the Trend Micro blog.
If you see this pop-up message, chances are your computer is infected with Conficker. The latest feature of the widespread worm is that it installs fake antivirus software on infected machines.

The infection alerts repeatedly appear and experts are worried that people may be clicking on them and paying for the software just to be rid of the annoying messages, thereby handing thieves their credit card information.
The fake antivirus program also attempts to install a Trojan downloader that is programmed to download new versions of Spyware Protect 2009, according to Kasperky Lab's blog. However, the domain the Trojan downloader was being accessed from has been shut down, the blog said.
The fake antivirus feature further bolsters the speculation that the motivation behind the worm is to make money and not a desire to disrupt computer or network operations.
Researchers were still analyzing new component code of the worm that began being spread via peer-to-peer and being downloaded off domains that host the Waledec worm on Wednesday but were finding the task difficult because the instructions are encrypted.
The worm spreads via a hole in Windows that Microsoft patched in October, as well as through removable storage devices and network shares with weak passwords. The worm disables security software and blocks access to security Web sites.
Despite all the news the worm has made, many computers still remain unpatched, Sophos said. Of the number of people who have used Sophos' free endpoint assessment test to check the security risk of a network since the beginning of the year, 11 percent did not have the Microsoft patch installed, according to Graham Cluley's blog at Sophos.
For the month of March, 10 percent of all of the people who used the Sophos assessment tool were missing the patch, he said. The company did not divulge exactly how many people had used the tool and Cluley said the statistics cannot be extrapolated to represent the number of unpatched systems on the Internet.
In an indication of infection rates, IBM's Internet Security Systems group released statistics that show that the number of unique IPs infected with Conficker.C is increasing slightly.
Based on infections seen through monitoring devices in its IBM ISS' Managed Security Services, the number has grown from just over 64,000 on April 2 to more than 71,000 on April 8, according to the unit's Frequency X blog.
"We've seen around 11 percent more unique IPs in the past few days in comparison to a week ago," the blog said, also adding that the number doesn't necessarily indicate the scope of worldwide Conficker infection.
Nearly 60 percent of the infections monitored by IBM ISS are in Asia, followed by 18 percent each in Europe and South America, and 4 percent in North America, the statistics show. By country, China leads with 16.6 percent, followed by Brazil at 10.8 percent, Russia at 10.2 percent and Korea at 4.6 percent, according to ISS.
To check if your computer is infected you can use this Conficker Eye Chart or this site at the University of Bonn. There is also a Conficker removal guide on CNET's Download.com site.

Analyst's Diary
Bot-watching 2

We just described what happens on Kido controlled machines when the spambot Iksmas is installed and launched. However, Kido is also downloading a fake antivirus named SpywareProtect2009. Owners of infected computers can see the effects of the SpywareProtect2009 activity.
This is what happens: the fake antivirus starts to show messages every couple of minutes about purported infections as it supposedly ‘detects’ viruses, network attacks, browser issues and so forth:
This fake AV is so annoying that there is a significant probability that innocent users will click on the offer to pay for disinfection – and thus will be defrauded of almost 50 USD. What is worse, their credit card details might also be harvested – with all sorts of nightmarish results.
In addition to launching numerous messages about infections, SpywareProtect2009 attempts to install a Trjoan-Downloader.Wind32.Fraudload.ecl onto the system. This downloader is programmed to download new versions of SpywareProtect2009. Variant .ecl is downloading these versions from alsterstor.com.
We have notified the registrar of this domain zone and the site was closed down within 20 minutes.

HK writer earns criticisms over anti-RP column [Chip Tsao]

Other issue that Chip Tsao made for Filipina, about hiring Filipina nurse!
Politically Incorrect with Chip Tsao - The Vintage Year
October 3rd, 2008
Inspired by the poisoned milk powder scandal, a friend of mine is planning to import a wet nurse from the Philippines. His wife has just given birth to a baby, and he is, most justifiably, extremely worried about anything made in China.
My friend used to be a supporter of Donald Tsang, who often appealed to local couples to have at least three children shortly after he became the Chief Executive two years ago. Now like any patriot, he regrets it a bit, because nobody, including Tsang, could have foreseen a possible baby famine as a result of the global milk-powder scare.
But why from the Philippines? Why not recruit a wet nurse from China? I asked my friend who until recently had whole-heartedly loved his motherland. “No,” he explained, “How can you be sure that a Chinese wet nurse is not going to be fake, with something like a Bangkok ladyboy-style plastic bag filled with artificial milk made from poisoned powder?”
My friend has every reason to be skeptical. You must have read news reports of white puppies purchased in pet shops in Shenzhen that had turned black after Hong Kong consumers put them in a flea bath and accidentally washed away the white paint, discovering the animal’s true color. A friend of mine was a victim of this recently. He took the dog back the next day, but his demand for a refund was denied by the poker-faced pet shop owner, even after he insisted on the absurdity of the situation by pointing out that he named his originally white puppy “John McCain.” “But John McCain will lose,” the pet shop owner said. “I also saw the presidential debate on TV. What’s the difference between the two anyway?”
So allowing Hong Kong families to import Filipina wet nurses would be an innovation. And not only for babies. What else would be as impressive as a status symbol than when you are visiting a billionaire for lunch and you and dozens of other refined guests are offered a glass of fresh milk to toast everybody’s health, instead of a glass of Chateau Rotschild Lafitte? You would be told that the troop of in-house wet nurses all hail from remote villages in Luzon or Mindanao, instead of the polluted city of Manila, transported to Hong Kong only minutes after they gave birth to their babies, jetfresh, to guarantee the best vintage. So, loosen whatever restrictions and bring them in, Sir Donald—just a thought for your policy speech as I look forward to the milk-tasting party hosted by my friend, whom I warned it would be better for legal reasons, if his wife, the madam—instead of himself, the sir—supervises the job on the spot. from HK online

But it wasnt the first time he insulted us, thanks to Ms.Connie Veneracion of House on a Hill for her article. Let me tell you this, Im here working in Israel now, and Im working as a caregiver for a living. I clean my savta's house [my old woman that I work w/],I clean her house, cook food for her and for me, We are just 2 in the house, and she treat me like a daughter not a slave,but in my first day, she's also thinking that I was her slave, and I got mad and tell her and her family, Look, Im not a slave, treat me as human being and coz Filipino are working with their heart not just for money.Most people like to have a Filipino workers coz they know most Filipino are educated, trust worthy and hard working person. You cannot find any workers like Filipino who will work hard and making sure that their boss [employers] are satisfied. Filipino are not just a domestic helpers, there are also Filipino who had a high position in a big companies in Hongkong, or a great businessman/businesswomen in different parts of the world. Nobody has the right to insult Filipino for working as domestic , not even right to call us slave, We work hard to earn for a living but dont you know that Filipino are one of the most efficient workers in the world, engineers in middle east, architects, English teachers in Thailands or English tutors in China, what about Chinese her in Israel? If Filipino are slave in your eyes CHIP TSAO, come here in Israel to help your fellow Chinese countrymen, coz if you think We are slave, How would you call them,coz most of them are working here as prostitutes[women,so miserable,men are working in the farm like a camel in the middle of high temperature. You know what, We never insulted them, coz We know they're all like us who wanted to earn money for our family, to live, to survive, no matter how hard it is.We've been in other countries and its hard to have an employer like you, without heart for the workers.We work hard, we dont deserve your words, If Im your worker, I will leave you ASAP and for sure you cannot find another worker who's educated and hardworking as your worker now! Besides, its about SPRATLY ISLANDS not about Filipino workers, you shouldnt need to insult Filipino for giving your opinion about Spratly Island.
