Charlene Infection

After a user complained of popup windows advising her to download antivirus software, I checked the system with Spybot Search & Destroy. Spybot found the following malware on the system:

FunWeb
FunWebProducts
MyWay.MyWebSearch
MyWebSearch
TagASaurus
Zlob.VideoAccessActiveXObject

I also found that the popup ad was appearing whenever Internet Explorer was opened. When Interenet Explorer was opened it would go immediately to http://aprotectservice.com/, which would result in a dubious W32.Myzor.FK@yf virus warning appearing.

FunWebProducts Malware

When I updated Spybot 1.4 on a system and then scanned the system, Spybot found FunWeb, FunWebProducts, MyWay.MyWebSearch, and MyWebSearch, all of which appeared to be related. This particular malware appears to be associated with iWon.
