AntivirusStudio2010 is a rogue security program, not a virus. It won't delete your files, so don't worry. But it's very annoying. While this fake program is running, it will display numerous fake security warnings and notifications about various viruses that may steal your sensitive information or delete your files. And what annoys my the most is this "New virus found" sound. Yes, this rogue comes with warning sounds. It may even play some junk through your speakers. Some of the fake security alerts are:
Antivirus Studio 2010
WARNING! [Number] threats detected
Detected malicious programs can damage your computer and compromise your privacy.
It's strongly recommended to remove them immediately!
Security Center Alert
To help protect your computer, Security Center
has blocked some features of this program
Name: Win64.BIT.Looker.exe
Security Center Alert
To help protect your computer, Security Center
has blocked some features of this program
Name: Screen.Grab.J.exe
Antivirus Studio 2010 has its own Security Center which claims that the virus is going to send your license key to somebody. A funny thing is that all the 127 addresses are reserved for localhost (your computer). So, it won't be going anywhere. Besides, that's not your license key anyway. I'm pretty sure it's fake.
Unauthorized remote connection!
Your system is making an unauthorized personal data transfer to remote computer!
Warning! Unauthorized personal data transfer Is detected! It may be your personal credit card details, logins and passwords, browsing habits or information about files you have downloaded.
What is more, the rogue program will block some programs on your computer claiming that they are infected.
Microsoft Windows
Program [file name] is infected with virus Generic Dropper.js. Continue running this program may be dangerous to your computer and personal data. Running this program can lead to permanent data loss and program instability. Would you like to disinfect this program with antivirus?
Last, but not least, it will hijack your web browser and randomly display warnings messages about insecure Internet browsing and infected websites.
Reported Insecure Browsing: Navigation BlockedAntivirusStudio2010 has its own secure transaction browser. It also displays modified Task Manager with a new collumn indicating whether the process is infected ot not. It states that AntiVirus Studio 2010.exe, which is the main process of this rogue program is in fected as well. That's strange.
Insecure Internet Activity. Threat of virus attack
Due to insecure Internet browsing your PC can easily get infected with viruses, worms, and trojans without your knowledge, and that can lead to system slowdown, freezes and crashes. Also insecure Internet activity can result in revealing your personal information.
Antivirus Studio 2010 is from the same family as Desktop Security 2010 malware.
