It seems like hackers have recently started applying some new techniques for stealing users’ money. According to security experts, one of the latest viruses, named as Security Hijack, has been noticed being spread together with rogue anti-spywares. So now, just after you get Antimalware Doctor, Security Tool or Security Suite installed unexpectedly, Security Hijack also gets on board and then trickily hides itself deep in the system. What is more, even though you detect and remove these rogues from the system, this hijacker still stays in the background and starts its dirty job. It is obvious that this program was not created for good reasons, so if ignored, it may start causing Internet connection problems and unexpected redirections, steal personal information or credit card details.

So you mean, it's unstoppable once it's melted into the PC?

Oh. That one. It's probably a backdoor or some sort of a Firewall breaker.

Well, possibly. Try using GData. I use that Anti-Virus not only at detecting viruses, BUT, it can also detect Malicious Activities in all sectors of your PC. Such as the Memory, System, etc.
