July 19, 2024, 5:33 a.m.

Description

This advisory cautions about the distribution of malware masquerading as crack programs for software. The malicious actors aim to prevent the installation of V3 Lite, an anti-malware solution, by terminating its installation process. This tactic allows them to maintain persistence and continue updating malware on infected systems. Users are advised to install V3 Lite by renaming the installer file to circumvent this disruption method. Regularly updating security products and exercising caution when executing downloaded programs is recommended to mitigate such threats.
