    If you get a message similar or as seen above, Please do not OPEN and RUN instead

    LOOK FOR DELETE.

  • What?

  • This is an attempt to con you into installing an 'exe' file called 'picture_dl.exe'. when you click on

    the link/URL, you will be rewarded with a sort of malicious programs which in anyway not related

    to google.com

  • Who?

  • This malicious program is mainly targeted at Microsoft WIndows OS users and has no effect on

    Linux OS. No reports on Apple MAC users so far

  • Where

  • Link/URL analysis
    http://www.google.com.id.ewv1g6d2.ij4s0h.2b99df1a.cn
    ( CN = China domain )

  • When?

  • Specifically, a downloader Trojan for which detection has been added as
    Troj/Dloadr-BPL. The downloader was proactively detected as Sus/ComPack-B for those with

    suspicious type detections enabled.
    When run, this downloads Trojan from a remote server, which has been added as Troj/Agent-HJX. It

    also downloads and displays an innocent image from a popular download site, and saves it to the

    Windows folder as joke.gif.

  • Fix?

  • delete this file on your computer.
    C:\windows\system32\splm\ncsjapi32.exe
    Then Scan your PC
    Delete any instance of picture_dl.exe


-----------FORWARD THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS------------
