Не знаю как вы, но лично я в своем телефоне ничему не удивляюсь. Обрывочные сообщения в заметках, забавные (и не очень) фотографии в Галерее и приложения, которые нужно было удалить год назад. С такими неожиданностями встречаются многие пользователи гаджетов. Но они незначительны по сравнению с Календарем, который неожиданно напоминает о событиях, которые никто не добавлял. Мы расскажем, что за вирус создает напоминания в Календаре на Андроиде, и как удалить его.
Как себя проявляет вирус-спамер в Календаре
На самом деле, программа, провоцирующая создание новых событий, прячется не в самом гаджете. Скажем больше, спам, попадающий в Календарь, создается не вирусами, а людьми, которые просто получили полный адрес вашей электронной почты. Злоумышленники (или горе-рекламодатели) отправляют приглашение на вашу почту, которая автоматически синхронизируется с Календарем.
Последний, в свою очередь, отображает приглашения в виде событий за день и несколько часов до установленной даты. Все бы ничего, но эти сообщения сопровождаются звуковым уведомлением, а также всплывающим окном. Потому мы попытаемся разобраться, как избавиться от спам-рассылки или хотя бы минимизировать проблемы от нее.
Как от него избавиться
Следуя логике, решить проблему можно несколькими способами:
- Лишить спамеров возможности указывать вашу почту. Но это практически нереально, так как почта используется для регистрации практически во всех сервисах. Да и вирусы постоянно копируют все найденные адреса.
- Разорвать связь между почтой и Календарем. Следуя терминологии, для этого нужно выключить синхронизацию.
- Избавиться от того, что создает проблему, то есть от Календаря.
Последняя идея немного рисковая, учитывая, что сегодня сервис Google по умолчанию используется во многих приложениях.
Отключение синхронизации с Gmail
Итак, рассмотрим наиболее безопасный вариант, который рекомендуют, в том числе и специалисты Google (ограничить возможности рассылок они почему-то не решились).
При отключении синхронизации с Gmail все спам-рассылки продолжат приходить на почту, но при этом они не будут высвечиваться в событиях на телефоне. Алгоритм действий:
- Найдите приложение Google Календарь на телефоне. Порой для этого достаточно кликнуть по дате в шторке уведомлений.
- Кликните по трем горизонтальным линиям в левом верхнем углу.
- Прокрутите открывшееся меню вниз, пока не увидите кнопку «Настройки». Кликните по ней.
- Выберите раздел «Мероприятия из Gmail».
- Отключите единственный пункт в открывшемся разделе.
Готово. Теперь проблема со спамом должна исчезнуть.
Удаление Google Календаря
Этот вариант несет за собой серьезные последствия, да и мы не видим в нем смысла. Предыдущий способ обычно покрывает все требования пользователей. Однако, если вам нужно удалить (а точнее отключить) сам Google Календарь, то это можно сделать следующим способом:
- Откройте настройки. Скорее всего, это значок шестеренки или тумблеров в шторке уведомлений.
- Перейдите в раздел «Приложения».
- Найдите в этом разделе приложение «Google Календарь» и откройте страницу о нем.
- Нажмите на кнопку «Отключить» или «Удалить» (при ее наличии).
Готово. Также не забудьте выключить автозапуск для приложения. Теперь останется найти только альтернативный Календарь. Учтите, что после этого вы не сможете добавлять события в Календарь через Google-ассистента.
Если даже после двух вышеперечисленных способов приходят странные спам-сообщения, значит, на вашем устройстве действительно завелся вирус. В таком случае рекомендуем установить антивирус (например, Dr. Web Cureit) и запустить полную проверку гаджета.
Благодарим за прочтение.
Часто смартфоны и планшеты под управлением операционной системы Андроид подвергаются атакам разных вирусов и спама. Для борьбы с вредоносным ПО рекомендуется использовать лучшие приложения антивирусы. Чтобы избавиться от спама в Гугл Календаре, а также в любых других сторонних программах-календарях, которые в процессе своей работы синхронизируются с Google, необходимо просто изменить некоторые настройки. После этого вы навсегда забудете об этой распространенной проблеме.
Каким образом спам проникает в Календарь от Гугл?
Компания Google давно ведет активную борьбу со спамом и всплывающей рекламой на Андроид телефонах. Для этого уже было внедрено множество разработок. Но, совершенствуя методы борьбы со спамным контентом, сами спамеры успешно модернизируют и свои продукты.
На всех устройствах Андроид спам появляется в Календаре из-за синхронизации с почтовой службой Gmail. При таком раскладе рассылки на те или иные мероприятия отправляются на наши смартфоны в формате приглашений, а не как обычные письма. Таким образом, они сразу попадают в приложение Календарь, легко обходя почтовый сервис Gmail, который мог бы распознать и убрать спамные уведомления.
Как можно избавиться от спама в Календаре?
Календарь Гугл наделен двумя специальными опциями. По умолчанию они предоставляют возможность любому, кому известен адрес вашей электронной почты, отправить вам спамное приглашение. Одна из таких опций отключается непосредственно на мобильном устройстве в настройках работы приложения «Календарь», а другая в онлайн-версии сервиса.
Благодаря простым настройкам, каждый владелец Андроид может избавиться от спамных приглашений и уведомлений. Например, одно из часто встречающихся — «Вам денежный перевод». Для гарантированного результата рекомендуется использовать функционал веб-версии Гугл Календаря.
-
- Откройте официальный сайт по этой ссылке и авторизуйтесь под данными свой учетной записи Google. После входа вверху экрана нажмите на значок шестеренки, чтобы оказаться в «Настройках» сервиса.
-
- Перейдите в раздел «Общие», а в нем выберите пункт под названием «Мероприятия».
-
- Здесь в поле «Автоматически добавлять приглашения» выберите функцию «Нет, показывать только приглашения, на которые уже отправлен ответ».
-
- Теперь в разделе «Общие» откройте пункт «Мероприятия из Gmail». Напротив опции «Автоматически добавлять мероприятия из Gmail в мой календарь» уберите отметку.
На этом все. Задав такие параметры, спам больше не будет появляться в Гугл Календаре вашего Андроид.

ask a new question.
Starting a week ago, I am getting several messages a day added as entries to the calendar, such as «Your phone might not be protected! Click to protect it!», «Click now to protect your priceless data!», or «Your phone data might leak! Secure it by clicking now», that seem to be malware. This has never happened to me in the past. What would have triggered the messages? Is there actually anything to fix on the phone? How could I stop receiving those messages? Thanks for your help

The warnings are a scam
You picked up a spam calendar, possibly by saying yes to a website offering notifications.
First open Calendar. Tap Calendars, uncheck the one you don’t recognise.
Then in Settings, Calendars, Accounts delete any rogue accounts .

CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE — это вирус, который показывает всплывающую рекламу в браузере.
- Показывает CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE нежелательную всплывающую рекламу.
- CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE перенаправляет щелчки в браузере на вредоносные веб сайты.
- CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE показывается регулярно, даже если закрываешь браузер.
- CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE появляется в строке ввода браузера при выборе новой вкладки.
- CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE меняет настройки поиска в браузере.
- CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE меняет ярлыки браузера на рабочем столе и в меню, чтобы вместе с запуском браузера показывалась реклама.
Как происходит заражение рекламным вирусом CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE?
Мой братишка — заядлый геймер. Что ни зайду в гости — он постоянно во что-то рубится. Иногда я думаю, что ест, спит и справляет нужду — тоже возле компьютера. Играет просто во все, что движется. Онлайн, оффлайн…
В общем, скачивает он порядочное количество всякого интернет мусора, не обращая внимание на содержимое и безопасность установочного процесса. Все, что он инсталлирует — он инсталлирует по-умолчанию. Так же быстрее! Короче, я не был удивлен, когда вчера он пожаловался мне, что подцепил очередной рекламный вирус — CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE.
Сейчас очень популярно стало дополнять инсталяционные пакеты всяческим мусорным софтом, которое, вообще говоря, вам вовсе и не нужно. Более того, иногда оно даже потенциально опасно. Одним из примеров такого нежелательного программного обеспечения и служит рекламный вирус CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE. Звучит просто как имя сайта. Но на самом деле данный зловред начинает заваливать вас назойливой рекламой с момента заражения вашего компьютера.
Как избежать заражения вирусом CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE или иным зловредом?
Прежде всего никогда не устанавливайте новое программное обеспечение по-умолчанию. Всегда обращайте внимание на опции установки. Внимательно смотрите, не предлагается ли установить дополнительно и ненужное вам программное обеспечение. От его установки лучше отказаться. Помните: потратьте сейчас на минуту больше своего времени, и вы избежите геморроя по расчистке своего компьютера в будущем!
«Ну а что делать, если я уже заразился вирусом?», — спросите вы.
Без паники, пару методов я набросал. Как всегда: ручками, и машиной. Угадайте, какой предпочитаю я?
Инструкция по ручному удалению рекламного вируса CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE
Для того, чтобы самостоятельно избавиться от рекламы CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE, вам необходимо последовательно выполнить все шаги, которые я привожу ниже:
- Поискать «CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE» в списке установленных программ и удалить ее.
- Открыть Диспетчер задач и закрыть программы, у которых в описании или имени есть слова «CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE». Заметьте, из какой папки происходит запуск этой программы. Удалите эти папки.
- Запретить вредные службы с помощью консоли services.msc.
- Удалить ‘Назначенные задания’, относящиеся к CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE, с помощью консоли taskschd.msc.
- С помощью редактора реестра regedit.exe поискать ключи с названием или содержащим «CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE» в реестре.
- Проверить ярлыки для запуска браузеров на предмет наличия в конце командной строки дополнительных адресов Web сайтов и убедиться, что они указывают на подлинный браузер.
- Проверить плагины всех установленных браузеров Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox и т.д.
- Проверить настройки поиска, домашней страницы. При необходимости сбросить настройки в начальное положение.
- Проверить настройки DNS вашей сети. Рекомендую обратиться к документации, предоставленной вашим провайдером.
- Очистить корзину, временные файлы, кэш браузеров.
И все же автоматика лучше!
Если ручной метод — не для вас, и хочется более легкий путь, существует множество специализированного ПО, которое сделает всю работу за вас. Я рекомендую воспользоваться UnHackMe от Greatis Software, выполнив все по пошаговой инструкции.
Шаг 1. Установите UnHackMe. (1 минута)
Шаг 2. Запустите поиск вредоносных программ в UnHackMe. (1 минута)
Шаг 3. Удалите вредоносные программы. (3 минуты)
UnHackMe выполнит все указанные шаги, проверяя по своей базе, всего за одну минуту.
При этом UnHackMe скорее всего найдет и другие вредоносные программы, а не только редиректор на CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE.
При ручном удалении могут возникнуть проблемы с удалением открытых файлов. Закрываемые процессы могут немедленно запускаться вновь, либо могут сделать это после перезагрузки. Часто возникают ситуации, когда недостаточно прав для удалении ключа реестра или файла.
UnHackMe легко со всем справится и выполнит всю трудную работу во время перезагрузки.
И это еще не все. Если после удаления редиректа на CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE какие то проблемы остались, то в UnHackMe есть ручной режим, в котором можно самостоятельно определять вредоносные программы в списке всех программ.
Итак, приступим:
Шаг 1. Установите UnHackMe (1 минута).
- Скачали софт, желательно последней версии. И не надо искать на всяких развалах, вполне возможно там вы нарветесь на пиратскую версию с вшитым очередным мусором. Оно вам надо? Идите на сайт производителя, тем более там есть бесплатный триал. Запустите установку программы.
- Затем следует принять лицензионное соглашение.
- И наконец указать папку для установки. На этом процесс инсталляции можно считать завершенным.
Шаг 2. Запустите поиск вредоносных программ в UnHackMe (1 минута).
- Итак, запускаем UnHackMe, и сразу стартуем тестирование, можно использовать быстрое, за 1 минуту. Но если время есть — рекомендую расширенное онлайн тестирование с использованием VirusTotal — это повысит вероятность обнаружения не только вируса CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE, но и остальной нечисти.
- Мы увидим как начался процесс сканирования.
Шаг 3. Удалите вредоносные программы (3 минуты).
- Обнаруживаем что-то на очередном этапе. UnHackMe отличается тем, что показывает вообще все, и очень плохое, и подозрительное, и даже хорошее. Не будьте обезьяной с гранатой! Не уверены в объектах из разряда ‘подозрительный’ или ‘нейтральный’ — не трогайте их. А вот в опасное лучше поверить. Итак, нашли опасный элемент, он будет подсвечен красным. Что делаем, как думаете? Правильно — убить! Ну или в английской версии — Remove Checked. В общем, жмем красную кнопку.
- После этого вам возможно будет предложено подтверждение. И приглашение закрыть все браузеры. Стоит прислушаться, это поможет.
- В случае, если понадобится удалить файл, или каталог, пожалуй лучше использовать опцию удаления в безопасном режиме. Да, понадобится перезагрузка, но это быстрее, чем начинать все сначала, поверьте.
- Ну и в конце вы увидите результаты сканирования и лечения.
Итак, как вы наверное заметили, автоматизированное лечение значительно быстрее и проще! Лично у меня избавление от вируса CLICK-NOW-ON-THIS.ONLINE заняло 5 минут! Поэтому я настоятельно рекомендую использовать UnHackMe для лечения вашего компьютера от любых нежелательных программ!

What is Micmitosas.top?
Micmitosas.top domain is part of a redirect chain. Redirect chain is a sequence of URLs starting from the first – initial URL, ending with the last – final destination URL. Attackers may use long redirect chains to hide malicious content. Most malicious redirects are conditional. It means that redirection only occurs when a certain condition is met. For example, search traffic redirects only occur when someone clicks from Google’s search results.
In some cases, unsuspecting users are taken to a rogue web page containing a pretend CAPTCHA examine, clicking which serves unwanted ads which are disguised to look as if they come from the working system and never from a web browser. In other cases, users are redirected to pages containing malware.
VirusTotal flagged Micmitosas.top as malicious:

Micmitosas.top redirect in detail
Micmitosas.top is not the final redirect destination. Depending on the browser and the IP, the visitor gets redirected further. In most cases, malicious redirects occur when users browse high-risk websites, when users click on a malicious link from spam calendar events, push notifications and spam emails. In addition, they can be redirected to the first – initial URL by malicious advertisements (malvertising) and Adware. Adware is a form of malicious software designed to display unwanted ads, redirect search queries to sponsored websites, and collect user data for marketing purposes. Adware can display banner ads, full-screen advertisements, pop-ups, videos, or other forms of online advertising. These annoying advertisements consume PC resources and slow down the system.
An example of micmitosas.top spam calendar event on android:
Adware is often harmless, but sometimes adware can also be spyware. Spyware can steal personal information (passwords, credit card numbers, and other confidential information) that can be used for identity theft. Therefore, it is very important to get rid of adware immediately.
Attackers often use adware to redirect users to various diet pills scams, fake dating websites, pornographic content, fake virus alerts that trick users to buy or install applications that are not needed, work-at-home schemes and other questionable content. Below are some examples of such sites:
In summary, malicious redirects can trick users into making security mistakes or giving away sensitive information, exploit vulnerabilities on their computer and install malicious software.

Examples of malicious and scam sites
We have reported several other scam and malicious sites in the past. Examples: Pornographic Spyware Alert, You’ve made the 5-billionth search, Windows Defender – Security Warning, Cleaner Update for Android is Recommended.
Users never visit sites like Micmitosas.top themselves. Typically, users are redirected to them after they click on misleading ads, visit torrent, illegal movie streaming and similar websites. Sometimes, users are redirected to the sites due to installed browser hijackers, adware or other unwanted software.
How does Adware get on your computer
A large number of spyware, adware programs, browser toolbars, hijackers, and PUPs are installed when installing freeware and peer-2-peer file sharing software. Therefore, when installing freeware, you need to be careful not to accidentally install additional software. It is important that you pay attention to the EULA (End User License Agreements) and select the Custom, Manual or Advanced setup mode as it will typically disclose what bundled apps will also be installed.
How can you protect against malicious redirects?
There are a number of methods that you can use to protect against malicious redirects and Adware. It is better to use them together, this will provide stronger protection.
- Use an ad blocker. Ad blockers allow you to browse sites without ads, thus eliminating the possibility of clicking on something malicious and preventing it from being downloaded to the machine.
- Pay for premium versions of popular services. The easiest way to avoid adware is to pay for the service you use. Many Internet services make it possible to use them without ads if you purchase a premium subscription. This helps ensure that malicious adware cannot reach you.
- Buy devices from trusted companies with built-in security. There have already been many cases where people who bought inexpensive Android devices found that adware was already installed on their devices. Cheap Android devices do not receive security updates and are therefore particularly susceptible to infection and should be avoided.
- Use an antivirus. Most antivirus programs can block malicious adware. Some malicious adware can block antiviruses, in which case a more aggressive method should be used, which is to use adware removal software. This software can detect and remove adware that has a negative impact on the device.

On iOS we have seen link shortener services pushing spam calendar files to victims’ devices.
We hope you already know that you shouldn’t click on just any URLs. You might be sent one in a message; somebody might insert one under a social media post or you could be provided with one on basically any website. Users or websites providing these links might use URL shortener services. These are used to shorten long URLs, hide original domain names, view analytics about the devices of visitors, or in some cases even monetize their clicks.
Monetization means that when someone clicks on such a link, an advertisement, such as the examples in Figure 1, will be displayed that will generate revenue for the person who generated the shortened URL. The problem is that some of these link shortener services use aggressive advertising techniques such as scareware ads: informing users their devices are infected with dangerous malware, directing users to download dodgy apps from the Google Play store or to participate in shady surveys, delivering adult content, offering to start premium SMS service subscriptions, enabling browser notifications, and making dubious offers to win prizes.
We’ve even seen link shortener services pushing “calendar” files to iOS devices and distributing Android malware – indeed, we discovered one piece of malware we named Android/FakeAdBlocker, which downloads and executes additional payloads (such as banking trojans, SMS trojans, and aggressive adware) received from its C&C server.
Below we describe the iOS calendar-event-creating downloads and how to recover from them, before spending most of the blogpost on a detailed analysis of the distribution of Android/FakeAdBlocker and, based on our telemetry, its alarming number of detections. This analysis is mainly focused on the functionality of the adware payload and, since it can create spam calendar events, we have included a brief guide detailing how to automatically remove them and uninstall Android/FakeAdBlocker from compromised devices.
Figure 1. Examples of shady aggressive advertisements
Distribution
Content displayed to the victim from monetized link shorteners can differ based on the running operating system. For instance, if a victim clicked on the same link on a Windows device and on a mobile device, a different website would be displayed on each device. Besides websites, they could also offer an iOS device user to download an ICS calendar file, or an Android device user to download an Android app. Figure 2 outlines options we have seen in the campaign analyzed here.
Figure 2. Malware distribution process
While some advertisements and Android applications served by these monetized shortened links are legitimate, we observed that the majority lead to shady or unwanted behavior.
iOS targets
On iOS devices, besides flooding victims with unwanted ads, these websites can create events in victims’ calendars by automatically downloading an ICS file. As the screenshots in Figure 3 show, victims must first tap the subscribe button to spam their calendars with these events. However, the calendar name “Click OK To Continue (sic)” is not revealing the true content of those calendar events and only misleads the victims into tapping the Subscribe and Done button.
These calendar events falsely inform victims that their devices are infected with malware, hoping to induce victims to click on the embedded links, which lead to more scareware advertisements.
Figure 3. Scam website requests user to subscribe to calendar events on iOS platform
Android targets
For victims on Android devices, the situation is more dangerous because these scam websites might initially provide the victim with a malicious app to download and afterwards proceed with visiting or downloading the actual expected content searched for by the user.
There are two scenarios for Android users that we observed during our research. In the first one, when the victim wants to download an Android application other than from Google Play, there is a request to enable browser notifications from that website, followed by a request to download an application called adBLOCK app.apk. This might create the illusion that this adBLOCK app will block displayed advertisements in the future, but the opposite is true. This app has nothing to do with the legitimate adBLOCK application available from the official source.
When the user taps on the download button, the browser is redirected to a different website where the user is apparently offered an ad-blocking app named adBLOCK, but ends up downloading Android/FakeAdBlocker. In other words, the victim’s tap or click is hijacked and used to download a malicious application. If the victim returns to the previous page and taps on the same download button, the correct legitimate file that the intended victim wanted is downloaded onto the device. You can watch one of the examples in the video below.
In the second Android scenario, when the victims want to proceed with downloading the requested file, they are shown a web page describing the steps to download and install an application with the name Your File Is Ready To Download.apk. This name is obviously misleading; the name of the app is trying to make the user think that what is being downloaded is the app or a file they wanted to access. You can see the demonstration in the video below.
In both cases, a scareware advertisement or the same Android/FakeAdBlocker trojan is delivered via a URL shortener service. Such services employ the Paid to click (PTC) business model and act as intermediaries between customers and advertisers. The advertiser pays for displaying ads on the PTC website, where part of that payment goes to the party that created the shortened link. As stated on one of these link shortening websites in the privacy policy section, these ads are via their advertising partners and they are not responsible for delivered content or visited websites.
One of the URL shortener services states in its terms of service that users should not create shortened links to transmit files that contain viruses, spyware, adware, trojans or other harmful code. To the contrary, we have observed that their ad partners are doing it.
Telemetry
Based on our detection data, Android/FakeAdBlocker was spotted for the first time in September 2019. Since then, we have been detecting it under various threat names. From the beginning of this year till July 1st, we have seen more than 150,000 instances of this threat being downloaded to Android devices.
Figure 4. ESET detection telemetry for Android/FakeAdBlocker
Figure 5. Top ten countries by proportion of Android/FakeAdBlocker detections (January 1st – July 1st 2021)
Android/FakeAdBlocker analysis
After downloading and installing Android/FakeAdBlocker, the user might realize that, as seen in Figure 6, it has a white blank icon and, in some cases, even has no app name.
Figure 6. App icon of Android/FakeAdBlocker
After its initial launch, this malware decodes a base64-encoded file with a .dat extension that is stored in the APK’s assets. This file contains C&C server information and its internal variables.
Figure 7. Decoded config file from APK assets
From its C&C server it will request another configuration file. This has a binary payload embedded, which is then extracted and dynamically loaded.
Figure 8. Android/FakeAdBlocker downloads an additional payload
For most of the examples we have observed, the this payload was responsible for displaying out-of-context ads. However, in hundreds of cases, different malicious payloads were downloaded and executed. Based on our telemetry, the C&C server returned different payloads based on the location of the device. The Cerberus banking trojan was downloaded to devices in Turkey, Poland, Spain, Greece and Italy. It was disguised as Chrome, Android Update, Adobe Flash Player, Update Android, or Google Guncelleme app (guencelleme is Turkish for “update” so the name of the app is Google Update). In Greece we have also seen the Ginp banking trojan being downloaded. The same malware family variant of SMS trojan was distributed in the Middle East. Besides these trojans, Bitdefender Labs also identified the TeaBot (also known as Anatsa) banking trojan being downloaded as a payload by Android/FakeAdBlocker. Payloads are downloaded to external media storage in the files subdirectory of the parent app package name using various app names. A list of payload APK names is included in the IoCs section.
The emerging fact that the C&C server can at any time distribute different malicious payloads makes this threat unpredictable. Since all aforementioned trojans have already been analyzed, we will continue with the analysis of the adware payload that was distributed to more than 99% of the victims. The adware payload bears many code similarities with the downloader so we are classifying both in the same Android/FakeAdBlocker malware family.
Although the payloads download in the background, the victim is informed about actions happening on the mobile device by the activity displayed saying file is being downloaded. Once everything is set up, the Android/FakeAdBlocker adware payload asks the victim for permission to draw over other apps, which will later result in it creating fake notifications to display advertisements in the foreground, and for permission to access the calendar.
Figure 9. Activity shown after start
Figure 10. Permission request to control what is displayed in foreground
Figure 11. Permission request to edit calendar events
After all permissions are enabled, the payload silently starts to create events in Google Calendar for upcoming months.
Figure 12. Scareware calendar events created by malware (above) and detail (below)
It creates eighteen events happening every day, each of them lasts 10 minutes. Their names and descriptions suggest that the victim’s smartphone is infected, user data is exposed online or that a virus protection app is expired. Descriptions of each event include a link that leads the victim to visit a scareware advertisement website. That website again claims the device has been infected and offers the user to download shady cleaner applications from Google Play.
Figure 13. Titles and descriptions of the events (left) and the reminder displayed by one of them (right)
All the event title names and their descriptions can be found the malware’s code. Here are all scareware event texts created by the malware, verbatim. If you find one of these in your Google Calendar, you are or were most likely a victim of this threat.

Besides flooding the calendar with scam events, Android/FakeAdBlocker also randomly displays full screen advertisements within the mobile browser, pops up scareware notifications and adult advertisements, and displays a Messenger-like “bubble” in the foreground mimicking a received message with a scammy text next to it.
Figure 14. Examples of displayed scareware ads
Clicking on any of these would lead the user to a website with further scareware content that suggests that the victim install cleaners or virus removers from Google Play. We have already written about similar shady apps impersonating security software in 2018.
Uninstall process
To identify and remove Android/FakeAdBlocker, including its dynamically loaded adware payload, you need to first find it among your installed applications, by going to Settings -> Apps. Because the malware doesn’t have an icon or an app name (see Figure 15), it should be easy to spot. Once located, tap it once to select it and then tap on Uninstall button and confirm the request to remove the threat.
Figure 15. Manual uninstallation of malware
How to automatically remove spam events
Uninstalling Android/FakeAdBlocker will not remove the spam events it created in your calendar. You can remove them manually; however, it would be a tedious job. This task can also be done automatically, using an app. During our tests we successfully removed all these events using a free app available from the Google Play store called Calendar Cleanup. A problem with this app is that it removes only past events. Because of that, to remove upcoming events, temporarily change the current time and date in the settings of the device to be the day after the last spam event created by the malware. That would make all these events expired and Calendar Cleanup can then automatically remove them all.
It is important to state that this app removes all events, not just the ones created by the malware. Because of that, you should carefully select the targeted range of days.
Once the job is done, make sure to reset the current time and date.
Conclusion
Based on our telemetry, it appears that many users tend to download Android apps from outside of Google Play, which might lead them to download malicious apps delivered through aggressive advertising practices that are used to generate revenue for their authors. We identified and demonstrated this vector of distribution in the videos above. Android/FakeAdBlocker downloads malicious payloads provided by its operator’s C&C server; in most cases, after launch these hide themselves from user view, deliver unwanted scareware or adult content advertisements and create spam calendar events for upcoming months. Trusting these scareware ads might cost their victims money either by sending premium rate SMS messages, subscribing to unnecessary services, or downloading additional and often malicious applications. Besides these scenarios, we identified various Android banking trojans and SMS trojans being downloaded and executed.

Click NOW to Secure Your iPhone is a page-rerouting and ad-displaying application that security experts classify as a browser hijacker. What is typical for Click NOW to Secure Your iPhone is that it can display hundreds of sponsored ads, pop-ups and banners during a single browsing session and redirect user searches to pre-defined URLs.
The “Click NOW to Secure Your iPhone” Calendar Spam will display pop up ads and messages
Browser hijackers such as Click NOW to Secure Your iPhone can be very frustrating and they can also be rather scary to anyone who has never dealt with one of their representatives before. The unauthorized changes that these programs can impose on popular web browsers like Safari, Chrome or Firefox typically make most web users believe that a virus or some malware has infected their computer. The unwanted changes most commonly include a redesigned homepage or a different search engine, but there may be also some changes in the web browser’s toolbar section where some new redirect buttons and add-ons may appear. Many people are specifically annoyed by the auto-redirects that they start to experience the moment the browser hijacker gets installed in the system. They also report that any website they visit through the hijacked browser gets stuffed with ads of all shapes and sizes: pop-ups, banners, text links, box notifications and more.
Without a doubt, such activity can be distracting and, honestly, quite annoying. Luckily, you don’t have to deal with it every day because in the removal guide below we will show you how to remove the nagging ads and how to safely reverse all the changes that have been imposed on your web browser.
Additional Information
Is Click NOW to Secure Your iPhone a threat to your system’s security?
Due to the aforementioned web-browsing disturbance they create, it is often unclear what the purpose of programs like Click NOW to Secure Your iPhone is and why they mess with the settings of your browser. Many people simply assume that the browser hijacker is some sort of annoying redirect virus. But the truth is that hijackers are quite different than malicious programs like Trojans, Ransomware, Worms and other web viruses since, unlike them, they don’t seek to harm your machine in any way.
Instead, most programs of the browser hijacking type, including Click NOW to Secure Your iPhone, are interested in promoting certain paid ads and web links and generating pay-per-click revenue for their developers. This explains why they place changes in the web browser’s settings and start spamming the screen with ads and redirecting the user searches to some pre-defined URLs. In this way, the hijackers basically ensure that no matter what you do, you will always land on some ad or link that is sponsored and generates income for the developers.
In the long run, however, these ad-driven activities can transform into an unbearable web browsing disturbance. Besides, when being spammed with so many random messages on your screen, there is always a risk of clicking on something misleading which could land you dangerous viruses such as Ransomware, Trojans, Rootkits and more. That’s why it is safer not to click on anything that the browser hijacker displays and simply use the instructions in the removal guide below to uninstall the unwanted software. If you have never dealt with such an application before, a much faster and risk-free way to remove Click NOW to Secure Your iPhone is to use a professional removal tool and we highly recommend this method if you are afraid that you will mess things up.
