Symbiosis Sister Site Delivers Virus To Your Computer
One of the very famous websites being visited today specially in India is snaptest.org, which is actually a sister site of Symbiosis Institute Of Business Management. Symbiosis is one of the very famous b-schools of India and has developed a name for itself in last many days.
Time for entrance exam to earn a seat into the school is nearing in and in order to know the details of the exam when few of my friends visited there sister site snaptest.org there computers slowed down and also started downloading heavy content from the Internet behind the scenes without there permission. The keyword snaptest when searched in Google gives the link for snaptest.org with the usual This site may harm your compute being displayed under the website link.
If you click on the original website link they take you to the warning page shown below:
And the warning page points to same broken link to which I pointed out 6 months back. When you happen to click on stopbadware.org hyperlink then you are taken to the error page of stopbadware.org website.
Search for the keyword snaptest and see the broken link yourself.
TIP: Those who have already been plagued with this website could check few folders under the administrators documents and settings/my document folder and look for a file “ieupdate.exe” If you find that file than just delete it. This will atleast stop the extra download which is occurring behind the scenes. But the computer wont speed up with this. Try and scanning the system with your virus scanner.
My plans of not going for MBA after my engineering helped me this time. Else I would also have visited the site to check out the entrance test details and had my sweet little computer screwed.
