Download 'Malware bytes'... Win32.Zafi.b is a name of a threat that you may see in a faked security alert message. The message mostly appears with Perfect Defender 2009, that is rogue application, infection. This program shows fake security alerts and tries to force users into purchasing a nonworking program. Win32.Zafi.b worm spreads via infected video codec's and file sharing networks. The bad side of this “goodie” is the ability to disable antivirus and other security products on user’s computer increasing possibility of infection. To avoid problems that Win32.Zafi.b can bring we highly recommend you to use reliable anti-spyware. Been doing a lot of searching on Limewire?
RE: Download 'Malware bytes'... not on my main pc, iv only had household broadband 3 days!!! had it quite a while ago but then iv had mobile broadband dongle thingy for my laptop, not downloaded anything since i got my main internet set back up, apart from all the updates... so thats got me more confused than ever..... sooo is it a fake thing then, i had my suspicions with it automatically redirecting me to a page to buy something, is there anything that i specifically need to do and is it actually a threat ????
Yes, its a threat. As I say, download Malware-Bytes and do a full scan. It's not a big, big threat, like many Trojans can be, however it will be a nuisance and it has the potential to cause some harm in the future.
