The Good Caster virus

The first thing you have to know about The Good Caster adware is that its hazard towards the PC rises respectively to the time it spends within it. This adware was produced to show ads, and while doing so, it switches the settings of your browser, including some important antiviral settings, which makes your laptop defenseless against many kinds of the possible issues. All the sites that were considered dangerous are now free to visit. All the fraud links to virus download that needed your confirmation will easily download a virus into your OS in a moment after you make a click. We may go on for a long time with this, but in simple words, we'll state that The Good Caster elimination is the plainest manner to make your machine clean.

This utility can't be called a program at all. It’s literally a stepping stone for any virus that web-criminals might decide to contaminate your PC with. Being the adware, it had changed your useful search system and homepage to coerce you to use swindlers’ “search engine” that’s showing links to you. Except for that, it has a bunch of even more malicious functions:

• Virus is capable of gathering the information about victim's search results, the most viewed sites, the set of operator's computer and a bunch of important things. Suchlike information is critically valuable to both hackers and the large organizations, particularly if it is available in great numbers. That’s why fraudsters are trying to get as many laptops infected as it’s possible, despite the fact that the vast majority of them will be cleared of infection in the end.
• Virus may be used as a password-stealer, gathering every single key typed on your keyboard. Scammers are mostly interested in passwords to popular websites, social networks, mailboxes, financial systems, etc.
• Adware might be applied to perform spyware functions, via your video-recording device or microphone.

We strongly doubt that The Good Caster carries out these functions at the moment, as it requires certain adjusting. Nevertheless, you shouldn't forget that by leaving it unattended, you are making it stronger.

The Good Caster side effects

We have told you everything about The Good Caster’s main aim, but it has another function that you'd better learn about. In due course, The Good Caster starts engaging undesired utilities into your machine. We’re certain that you’ve seen the clogged machine no fewer than one time: the PC that hardly turns on, and launches every service for a few minutes or something. It's poky and unstable because of a heap of malicious utilities functioning on a permanent basis. Do you want your machine to become like this? We beg to differ.
To grasp how to get rid of The Good Caster, you need to realize the principles of its work. All the other malicious programs aren’t related to The Good Caster in any way, yet it helped them by opening a door in your PC's defense. The more time The Good Caster spends in your device, the worse this situation becomes. The only manner to clear this mess is to remove The Good Caster completely.

Virus infection way

To get into the device, The Good Caster utilizes the affiliate installation way. In other words, you have provided The Good Caster with help while it worked on contaminating your laptop. The way is very simple. Swindlers make a package of a few perilous utilities and a single good piece of software, to lure operators’ thought to it, and trick them into installing it. The installation process is changed so that operator might either accept the installation of the whole package, or call it off, but hackers leave no option to install just the good utility. The point is that the vast majority of customers don’t pay attention to it – they quickly click “ok” and move forward. To deflect the infection through this technique, you should remember about the possibility of viral infection every time you install a gratis utility.

How Powzip infected the computer?

Web-criminals, or whoever maintains this advertising tool, are willing to to ensure that it's as nasty as nothing else before, to make you click on ads. By making this you allow new advertising tools into the system. This method is too plain. Powzip only provides plenty of ads, pop-ups, banners and links, and as they appear in the middle of user's monitor, he wants to remove them. Needless to mention that these links cannot be closed. There is no "hide" function for them, so any click launches another tab or a separate window with a viral website. Except that, it could initiate a download of some file, so if the device is already infected and the browser settings are changed – the virus will get into it. That’s how you receive annoying adware until Powzip works in the system.

To understand how the system runs cluttered with malicious utilities you have to know how Powzip gets into the computer. The word is the affiliate installation. It’s literally the plainest method to infect the one’s computer. Web-criminals usually copy the dangerous folder on a few portals and temporize, until operator downloads it. When it happens, it’s a matter of chance, so hackers can only trust that the operator will not read the EULA and will not bother to understand what he’s currently downloading. If you want to miss the infestation via affiliate download – here are the tips that may help:

• Under any circumstances, do not shut off your antiviral software, especially if you see a suggestion to;
• Don’t install tools, which conceal their goals;
• Do not use unlicensed utilities;
• Pay attention to everything in the windows while you're installing any tool.

BurstService.exe was detected as trojan virus

A few days ago, Windows defender identified BurstService as a malicious trojan a.zpevdo. But according to virustotal, the virus is not dangerous and only three antiviruses mark it suspicious. Moreover, all these antimalware tools decided that the file is dangerous only because of  "behavioral methods". For example, McAfee named the infection Artemis[id]. It means that they don't know exactly what executable file does. It seems to me, that BurstService is safe and only reason of its block is a mistake.

Where mail.ru virus comes from?

Mail.ru is an advertising program that was developed to earn money for web-scammers and inconvenience - to other users. There are plenty of opportunities for suchlike program to get into the system, but the best of them is bundled installation. This way is so perfect because web-criminals don't have to risk. Users willingly download a virus and become acquainted with all its functions. To make things work, swindlers need to upload the viral bundle on few most visited torrent trackers. Let's describe this system step by step. Firstly, swindlers need a suitable software to create a bundle and name it by its name. This software needs to be effective and toll-free. It could just be a cracked copy of the paid software. Fraudsters add 3-4 viruses to the package and make that the resulting file can’t be revised. The only available procedure is the installation. Actually it's a pure fraud, since hackers tell you that you will get a decent program and you get adware in addition. If you don't remember that you downloaded Mail.ru, but remember that you downloaded other unpaid utilities - probably Mail.ru has entered your computer through this method.
After entering the machine, adware begins to change the browser settings, trying to provide advertising most efficiently. Such alterations involve the built-in browser pop-ups such as warnings about harmful substance of the website. Also, adware often switches the default search provider and new tab pages to suspicious website. After that, Mail.ru appends some lines to registry that are responsible for reinstallation of adware in case of removal. According to these measures, Mail.ru defends itself from elimination, and continues to display ads even if victim resets the browser settings. After accomplishing this, Mail.ru keeps on showing ads. Now you know for sure that none of the adware's functions is intended to be helpful. The only thing swindlers care about is money, so they'll generate ads until you remove Mail.ru.
Mail.ru installs on computer with Amigo browser, Puls extension and other: Mail ru and Amigo browser.

YeaDesktop virus

YeaDesktop is a classic example of an advertising program that is used in standard schemes of ad fraud on the Internet. This program can display advertising proposals individually or as part of large ad units, call up pop-up windows with links, and redirect the user to untrusted sites in the browser. Most likely this program was developed by Chinese scammers, or those who are trying to impersonate them. Unlike most other adware, YeaDesktop does not operate autonomously, and it constantly receives instructions from the remote server xiaobingdou.com. This server is the core of the entire system that directs traffic to certain sites.
