“I went and checked out your old website at Analyzeguide”

“That’s not my old website”

“…”

A genuine conversation, ladies and gentlemen – and one that resulted in some rogue program shenanigans.

As you’ll have guessed from the above conversation, you’ll be wanting to steer clear of analyzeguide(dot)com/text/[various redacted .php extensions go here]

Running the executable served up (and some of the many others on offer) will give you a phony disk clean up / defrag tool, along the lines of this horrible thing.

In case you were wondering my old stomping ground was Spywareguide, NOT “Analyzeguide” so please don’t go guessing and wandering into a big pile of fake file action.

VirusTotal results are currently at 13/43, and we detect this as FraudTool.Win32.FakeAV.hdd (v).
