Rogues - AVSystemCare family
Currently, there are 85 variants (that I know) of the rogue security software suite known as
AVSystemCare. They supposedly offer antivirus,
antispyware, firewall and a pop-up blocker in an all-in-one package and may seem a good deal - and are similar in that respect to the more recognized and respected names in this
field such as Kaspersky, Symantec, Trend Micro, McAfee, CA, F-Secure, et al.
The twist here is though is that they report the presence of fake threats in order to goad the user into buying a full license for the application to remove these threats - that
don't really exist. The applications can be manually downloaded and installed, or if your system is vulnerable (without current, adequate protection), they may be installed by a
downloader - without the user's consent.
Please note that throughout this page I only refer to the HijackThis (or HJT) startup entries and not all
associated files - to keep in with the theme of the rest of the site. Note that if you have more than one rogue installed that uses a file common to other rogues the HJT log entry
(and maybe filename) could have a pair of () with number inside appended, i.e., HKLM\..\Run: [Salestart(1)].
See here for an example of such a log.

The one file they all share (although a different version in each case obviously) is pgs.exe. Many of the others are also shared between the variants - but
not neccesarily always the same one, as you'll see below. In addition, the entries above are from a number of different logs - presumably from different versions of the rogue.
