UrlZone removal

UrlZone

Vulnerable computer systems and applications:

Windows OS.

Description:

UrlZone is a malicious software code, also known as a Trojan. The trojan allows malicious parties to intercept banking login credentials and steal money from accounts. When someone logs into their online banking account on an infected device, UrlZone checks the balance and what amount it can steal before the bank’s fraud alerts are set off. It then transfers the money to a malicious party account.

UrlZone enters computers through malicious JavaScript codes and Adobe PDF files that are distributed in spam emails and on unsafe websites.

Recommendations:

• Install or update used device protection systems;
• Scan your computer with an anti-virus program;
• Install operating system and application updates;
• Do not click on suspicious links in emails and websites.
