Adware.Component.Toolbars

Posted: July 9, 2009

Adware.Component.Toolbars is a fake security threat created and implemented by the equally fake spyware remover Smart Defender PRO. Adware.Component.Toolbars appears in Smart Defender PRO warning popup windows. They read as follows:

"INFILTRATION ALERT. Your computer is being attacked from Internet. It could be a password-stealing attack, a trojan-dropper and so on. DETAILS: Attack from 119.226.114.205; Attacked port: 21373; Threat: Adware.Component.Toolbars. Do you want this program to block this attack?"

Declining this offer proves futile, as these notifications will continue to bombard your computer. Accepting, however, will cause you to waste money purchasing a completely useless rogue spyware remover called Smart Defender PRO. Remove both Adware.Component.Toolbars and Smart Defender PRO as soon as possible.
