Stop-Sign is a virus! Do not fall for the ad on TV!
« on: April 21, 2009, 11:12:32 PM »
Recently there have been some stop-sign or stopsign ads on TV about how they protect your PC and stuff. It's just malware. Do not fall for the ads! This stopsign has more than one domain. If any more domains are found, please reply instantly so I can update the post.

Website domains from stopsign:
hXXp://www.stop-sign.com (Donovansrb10)

all I know is that I've helped someone who had something like this installed.  I helped them find a removal tool, I'll try to find it in my posts and post back here.  Maybe that will help somehow, to whoever has this installed.

sorry, looking through my posts is like looking for a needle and a haystack.  I know there's one out there though, just might be a job for a long google search.

Oh, one more thing, apparently, there IS a legit version of stop-sign anti-virus, but I wouldn't suggest using it.  I'm sure there are a few rogue sites though.  There is for everything.
