A close friend of mine has come in contact with a Mandiant U.S.A. Cyber Security virus sometime between the 30th and 31st of October through, I believe, the download of a game from the Android app store. It has infected his Samsung tablet and I’m unsure as to how I can help. He has no other means of getting it off than to click the factory reset button on it and he is really hesitant to doing so. What can/should I do? The “Mandiant U.S.A Cyber Security virus” screen popped up automatically and blocked the Android smartphone, saying you have broken a bunch of laws, and you are “obligated to pay $300” using a MoneyPak card. Every owner of Android phones would have that question and anxiety in them. In a glance, can you identify whether your phone is prone to it? How will you remove Android popup virus? Can’t close the U.S.A Cyber Security warning alert page or power off the phone directly. Please help!

Recently I download some free applications for my Media Player, but since then whatever shopping websites I surf, there is an ad called Price Slayer and other annoying ads popping up, which interrupt me very much. And now my computer seems to perform slower than before. I think it should be infected with some kind of virus, but my antivirus program does not report anything about malicious virus. I’m not a computer savvy and don’t know how to get rid of it.
Description of Price Slayer Adware Virus
Price Slayer is classified as an adware program that could collect information or data about a user’s browsing patterns in order to display relevant advertisements in his or her web browser. It always comes bundled with free software or application that you download from the Internet. While you install those free software, it also loads at the same time and invades your computer. Once Price Slayer Adware is installed to your computer’s operating system and embedded to a user’s internet browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer, the other adware and spyware program will enter into your computer and begin to track users’ online activity and collect their data in order to display targeted advertisements, next it will install a toolbar or change your default home page settings. It can be also treated as a web browser hijacker or a malicious browser extension for the Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox etc. Like other adwares, Price Slayer is also mainly designed to make money, so it always pops up advertisements varying from product offers, best deals, coupons etc. Besides, it may also pop up such updates reminder as Adobe Flash, Media Player updates in order to install more malware into computer. If you click those fake updates, you will give Price Slayer a chance to open a backdoor to bring more malicious infections to mess up your computer. It should be noted that it also has a habit to redirect you to other malicious websites. If you carelessly click some links on this malicious websites, they will also bring some virus you can not imagine. What’s worse, it can gradually damage your computer system and make computer perform slowly, because it brings other malicious infections, thus your computer is in a dangerous and unhealthy state till it crashes down if you don’t remove the malicious infections in time. You should also pay attention that Price Slayer adware can spy on and track your Internet activities and collect your sensitive privacy data like bank account, password, e-mail account etc. for hacker’s illegal purpose.

After I download and install a remote access called VuuPC, my computer performs slower and slower even it will take a long time to boot up. The strangest thing is that I always receive pop-up advertisements. And whatever website I browse, I am always redirected to another strange site, and my homepage is changed to another one. How does it happen? I don’t have any idea at all. I have tried scanning by many anti-virus programs installed on my computer, but they didn’t pick up this pop-up page, I have no idea how to deal with this headache, please help!
Description of VuuPC Malware Virus
VuuPC is also known as “You’re Always a Click Away! by VuuPC Limited”. It advertises that it is a remote access which can help you remotely access to your home or office PC, access your files and transfer them between computers (copy and paste, no need to send) etc. It may be treated as a useful and powerful tool that allows users to connect to their computers remotely. However, it is categorized as a PUP (potentially unwanted program) or malware and suggested not to install or keep it on your computer. This is because it causes a variety of severe issues with users’ computer and interrupts their online activities after this program is installed in computer.
Firstly, VuuPC malware can copy its files to your hard disk. The typical file name is Run.exe. It creates new start-up key with name VuuPC and value Run.exe. You can also find it in your processes list with name of Run.exe or VuuPC. Also, it can create folder named VuuPC under C:\Program Files\ or C:\ProgramData. This is the way how VuuPC intrudes your computer. Then it may load as soon as the windows is booting, next it will install a toolbar or change your default home page settings. And those adware don’t allow you to change it back to your homepage. Once VuuPC malware is installed to your computer’s operating system and emdeded to a user’s internet browser such as Chrome, Firefox, and/or Internet Explorer, the other adware and spyware program will enter into your computer and begin to track users’ online activity and collect their data in order to display targeted advertisements or turn over their information to third-party contractors. It may even ask a user for information such as your email address and access to your social media accounts, including Facebook. That is the reason why it could throw unstoppable and targeted advertisements and redirect you to malicious sites. And when you are curious and click on those pop-up advertisements, those ads will further lead you to fill your privacy information into those advertisements, thus your personal data is let out without your permission. Besides, you will often receive unwanted email spam, junk mail, and sometimes telephone calls from telemarketers. In a word, once other types of malicious programs get onto a computer, they may begin to collect data that users manually submit online for illegal purpose.
