McAfee Fake Alert Stinger 10.2.0.190

Fake-Alert software, also called fake AV or rogue anti-virus software, is malware that masquerades as a legitimate security application. These threats employ social engineering tactics to trick users into purchasing and installing malicious products. Once installed, a system scan will run that subsequently claims that the machine is infected. Other nefarious activity is occurring in the background, including the disabling of legitimate security applications.

The Fake Alert Stinger uses “Super Scan” mode for detection and remediation targeted specifically at fake-alert threats.

Super Scan achieves the following:

Terminates malicious processes that hinder anti-virus software from running properly
Restarts the Windows Explorer process to remove any hooks created by malware to prevent re-infections
Fixes file associations and other registry-based policies that are typically altered by fake-alert threats to remain active or to prevent normal use of system tools

In summary, Super Scan brings an infected system to a state that allows anti-virus software to scan and remediate effectively.

Rossi competes in endurance race at Monza

Multiple MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi travelled to Monza at the weekend in order to take part in the Blancpain Endurance Series. The Ducati rider, driving a Ferrari 458 Italia, finished the race 18th overall.

Rossi, whose brief switch to four wheels was not his first – having sampled World Rally and Formula 1 machinery over the past ten years – travelled to Italy following a trying start to the MotoGP season in Qatar.

He drove alongside friend Uccio Salucci and finished eighth in class. Winning was the Marc VDS Racing Team – which runs Mika Kallio and Scott Redding in Moto2 – with its line-up of Bas Leinders, Markus Palttala and Maxime Martin

Sauber pit fire was not engine problem

Sauber’s pit lane fire in Mugello on Thursday was not an engine issue, the Swiss team has confirmed to GPUpdate.net. Initially, when Sergio Pérez pulled into the pit lane, it was unknown whether the blaze was related to a major technical component.

“It was just a heat shield in the exhaust area that had caught fire and was obviously replaced,” a team spokesperson explained after Pérez ended the day in fifth place.

The Mexican concentrated mostly on aerodynamics, testing new parts and the setup which will be used in Barcelona next weekend. Struggling for balance at times, he suffered a pair of off-track moments but did not damage the car.

Stressing that lap times were of no real significance, Sauber also verified that their car was circulating with heavy fuel loads on-board.

Schumacher not expecting too much in Spain

Michael Schumacher is typically retaining a realistic approach as Formula 1 returns to Barcelona. Although the seven-time World Champion is confident that Mercedes has made progress, he is not expecting too much, too soon in Barcelona.

During the week, the F1 circus travelled to Mugello in Italy for the first in-season test for race drivers since 2008. More updates will be rolled out next weekend.

“After completing our testing programme in Mugello, we are now heading to the start of the European season in Barcelona next week,” Schumacher begins.

“The positive thing about the test was that we could really concentrate on the developments we were aiming to work on. This should give us a good basis for further developments, even if maybe not for the next race to come.

“Barcelona is a track we have driven extensively on and this is why we know that its characteristics do not exactly play fully into our hands. But then, we will definitely go there and try our best and at the same time keep on working for the things to come.”

Schumacher won at the Circuit de Catalunya for Benetton and Ferrari six times between 1995 and 2004. In his two races at the track so far with Mercedes, he has racked up finishing positions of fourth and sixth.
