Win32.Zafi.b is a name of a threat that usually appears in a faked security alert message. This message will most likely appears with Perfect Defender 2009, which is a serious rogue infection we have profiled previously. What Win32.Zafi.b is trying to do is force users into purchasing this nonworking program through fake security alerts. Win32.Zafi.b worm spreads via infected video codec’s and file sharing networks which we have continuously warned about. The really bad side of Win32.Zafi.b is the ability to disable antivirus and other security applications on your computer increasing the possibility of infection. To avoid these problems and others that Win32.Zafi.b can bring we strongly recommend a top quality anti-spyware.
