Home Safety Essentials

There are many reasons attributable to the continued success of developers of rogue antispyware applications such as Home Safety Essentials – such as their incredibly malicious attacks and panic tactics used against inexperienced PC owners. Home Safety Essentials in particular derives from the same family of rogue security tools as the Rogue.VirusDoctor family, Anti-Malware Lab, System Smart Security, PC Security Guardian, Best Malware Protection, Internet Security Essentials and Smart Internet Protection 2011. It enters the system surreptitiously and remains hidden from the user until it is ready to start its attack. But Home Safety Essentials will of course attempt to convince its prospective victims that it is indeed a genuine security tool, when this is certainly not the case. Home Safety Essentials does not have the ability to detect or remove any type of threat from the system, as it is nothing more than a malicious threat in itself.

Home Safety Essentials targets vulnerable PCs through using fake online malware scanners such called Windows Web Security. If the user clicks on these fake scans they will be redirected to a fake website where the page will emulate a real Windows platform scan and pretend to scan the user’s PC. After this fake system scan finishes it will inform the user that his system is infected with numerous critical infections, and will inform the user that he needs to download Home Safety Essentials to fix it. Browser hijacking websites are also used to forcefully root the Home Safety Essentials infection into PCs using drive-by download tactics.

This rogue will create randomly generated files on the system, and then report them as threats. Some of these fake threats are:

CLSV.tmp
DBOLE.dll
Recent\PE.sys
SICKBOY.drv
SICKBOY.sys
delfile.dll
eb.dll

Shortly following this fake results having been generated the user will find himself presented with various annoying pop up messages acting as security notifications. These fake notifications will also inform the user that his system is being attacked, and that he needs to purchase Home Safety Essentials in order to stave off these attacks.

Other symptoms associated with the Home Safety Essentials infection range from users being unable to connect to the Internet as well as being unable to launch applications on the infected system. This is done to further panic and frustrates the user, but also to prevent him from downloading or executing an application which may be able to detect and destroy Home Safety Essentials from the system.

It has also been reported that certain system folders’ contents were hidden from users.
