When you try to close this Backdoor:Win32/Sivuxa pop-up, you get another popup:

“You PC still infected with spyware!

Gpcode.AK Threat Level:

Gpcode.AK is a Trojan you might catch while downloading porn. Gpcode.AK encrypts all your files and then demands money to decrypt them so you can use them again. Gpcode.AK renames all your freshly encrypted files “%DriveLetter%\[ORIGINAL NAME]._CRYPT.”

The Gpcode.AK popup to tell you its holding your system ransom reads:

“Your files are encrypted with RSA-1024 algorithm.
To recovery your files you need to buy our decryptor.
To buy decrypting tool contact us at: [REMOVED]@yahoo.com”

Gpcode.AK is just one of the many reasons why you should — unfortunately :( — not download porn online.

Ya think?

Adware Deluxe 1.0.8 Threat Level:

Adware Deluxe 1.0.8 is fake anti-spyware/anti-adware, just another scam dressed up as useful software.

Adware Deluxe 1.0.8 might be a gift from a Trojan like Zlob. Funny enough, if you visit AdwareDeluxe.com and click for the “free” scan, a popup tells you to accept a file from AdwareXterminator.com, a site that forwards to AlertSpy.com. Which just happens to be the home page for past scam software.

Isn’t that strange?

So that was sarcastic, but this isn’t: get rid of Adware Deluxe 1.0.8.
