Started by shark13 , Apr 22 2014 06:29 PM This topic is locked 9 replies to this topic #1 shark13 shark13 Members 43 posts OFFLINE Local time:02:15 AM Posted 22 April 2014 - 06:29 PM Hello, I awoke this morning to a box that appears to be from windows stating that my hard drive is about to fail and that I should back up my data immediately (done). After further research though it appears that there are also viruses that mimic this alert for different purposes. Is there a way we can scan/search my system and determine if my hard drive is really about to fail or whether I have a virus?

Windows Detected A Hard Disk Problem Virus
2011 by PC Tools From precious photos to important work documents, a computer’s hard drive typically contains heaps of priceless data. That’s why losing everything in the hard drive is a great fear for many—especially http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/532013/hard-drive-fail-warning-or-virus/ those who haven’t taken precautions to back their files up, either in the cloud or on an external hard drive. A new piece of malware called Trojan.Fakefrag capitalizes on this fear with a pretty elaborate ruse. Trojan.Fakefrag differs from other malware in that it actually moves files from the desktop and Start menu to hidden locations in the computer, making it appear as though the hard drive is being http://www.pctools.com/security-news/malware-that-fakes-hard-drive-failure/ attacked and important files are being deleted. How Trojan.Fakefrag Works Trojan.Fakefrag can evidently make it onto a computer through a variety of methods, but a common method of infection is through drive-by-download. Once the Trojan executes, an error message appears, citing a “Problem with the hard disks” and asking that you restart your computer. Helping to further incite a sense of urgency, the malware causes icons to disappear from your desktop and Start menu. However, further investigation into the matter reveals that the files haven’t been deleted; they’ve just been relocated to hidden or inconspicuous locations on the computer. Soon, other alerts pop up, including one that encourages the victim to run a (fake) diagnostics scan. The fake diagnostics scan is actually a variant of the UltraDefraggerFraud family. When it has finished “scanning,” it finds that the computer has been infected—surprise, surprise—and offers a malware removal tool for $79.50. If these messages are ignored, other increasingly urgent warnings appear, and eventually, the malware renders the computer unusable. What to Do if Your Computer’s Infected with Trojan.Fakefrag Firstly, make sure you don’t pay the $79.50 for the fraudulent removal tool. That’s just what the cybercriminals behind the malware attack want you to do, and it really doesn’t fi
