Jupiter Support - ZeroAccess Rootkit Removal
The Rootkit.ZeroAccess virus, also known as
Sirefef, is a malicious program used for
financial gain through pay-per-click advertising
also known as click fraud. The virus is also
capable of downloading other malware onto the
computer, which scares the user into believing
that their computer is filled with a hoard
of infectious threats. Bogus anti-virus
software pretends to detect and remove these
threats for a fee. The Rootkit.ZeroAccess
virus disables the system security
application and Windows Firewall settings,
thus creating security loopholes in your computer
which is then used to record your Internet
activities or distribute pop-up ads. These
affect the speed and functionality of the
computer, bringing on frequent crashes. If you
