Morphed threat to cause system shutdown
July 12, 2011 Computer Safety Tip
It would seem as though the developers of rogue security tools have been keeping busy with the release of Anti-Malware Lab. 
This rogue antispyware application, which finds its roots from the same despicable family of Internet Security Essentials, My Security Shield and My Security Engine, will make sure to enter its victims’ PCs without their consent or their acknowledgement, and will firmly root itself in the system before it exposes itself to the user. What makes Anti-Malware Lab even more dangerous is its likeness to the Windows XP file manager interface, as well as ability to immobilize installed security applications on the system so as to avoid detection and removal. This all culminates to make it that much more urget to annihilate Anti-Malware Lab without any unnecessary delays.
If you are wondering how Anti-Malware Lab manages to worm its way onto a PC, you may not be surprised to know that it does not break any new ground here. In fact, Anti-Malware Lab makes use of the same established infection tactics used by most other rogue applications. It would seem as though some of the most popular infection tactics used by Anti-Malware Lab includes seditious browser hijackers which forcefully redirect users to compromised sites which make use of drive-by download tactics to root the Anti-Malware Lab infection into the system, among other tactics.
Anti-Malware Lab will start its attack by firstly creating the illusion that your PC is infected with dire infections such as Lsas.Trojan-Spy.DOS.Keycopy – it does this through fake system scans and annoyingly incessant pop up messages, and will cause your PC to malfunction as a way of validating its fake warnings and making you believe that these symptoms stem from the various reported infections. The symptoms associated with the Anti-Malware Lab infection include, but are not limited to: blocked Internet connections and increased erratic system behavior, consumption of valuable system resources resulting in poor system performance and randomly generated Desktop items.
In order to make it easier to get rid of Anti-Malware Lab, paste the following registry code:
U2FD-S2LA-H4KA-UEPB
An important aspect to understand is that you will only be able to regain control of your PC if you destroy Anti-Malware Lab. The only way to confidently erase Anti-Malware Lab without running the risk of causing more damage or leaving traces of the rogue behind will be to use a powerful security tool to annihilate Anti-Malware Lab for good.
