Email-Worm.Iksmas.ej is a malware application which disguises itself as a security tool. This is not a new way to deceive computer users and gain a purchase; however Email-Worm.Iksmas.ej makes uses of additional misleading tactics as well. Email-Worm.Iksmas.ej is not able to infect computers on its own; instead, it coerces people into downloading the program voluntarily. Email-Worm.Iksmas.ej tends to be delivered onto a system via a Trojan application. This Trojan mimics Windows firewall notifications and asks if the user would like to enable protection. Once the user has clicked on the button: “Enable Protection”, this will actually ensure the Trojan is installed, along with Email-Worm.Iksmas.ej. Once Email-Worm.Iksmas.ej infiltrates a computer, it begins offering the user the paid version of the software. Email-Worm.Iksmas.ej might appear to be legitimate anti-spyware, but it is in fact absolutely non-functional. Email-Worm.Iksmas.ej tends to imitate system scans and will report large numbers of infections found on the system. One should bear in mind that every message generated by Email-Worm.Iksmas.ej can be ignored as they are all completely falsified. Not only is Email-Worm.Iksmas.ej completely useless as antispyware, but it is also rather malicious.
