DRIVE BY MALWARE


HOW IT WORKS









I've addressed many of these same issues from time-to-time, until some of you are probably sick of seeing it, but the problem isn't going away - it's increasing in size!

DOES THIS LOOK FAMILIAR?
A recent [and excellent] post on Malwarebytes blog helps bring everything into focus and I suggest you give it a read! Here is an excerpt:

UpdateNowPro.com is distributing Software Updater. Air Installer is an install manager that will manage the installation of the selected software. In addition to managing the installation of your selected software, this install manager will make recommendations for additional free software that you may be interested in. Additional software may include toolbars, browser add-ons, game applications, anti-virus applications and other types of applications. You are not required to install any additional software to receive your selected software. You can completely remove the program at any time in Windows ‘Add/Remove Programs’. At the time of downloading you accept the Terms and Privacy Policy.

In other words, the program they want you to download bundles other applications, something we know all too well.
