1-888-479-3649 Trojan – How Does It Infect

The malware is associated with an ad-supported application, known as Buzzing Dhol. It is reported to be connected to software that claims to allow users to follow various events. This ad-supported software may have arrived on your computer, via bundling. This means that it may have been included as a free extra to a free program you may have downloaded online, similar to the example below:

Since such software may display various advertisements and cause browser redirects linking to third-party websites, you may have been transferred to a malicious URL with the 1-888-479-3649 trojan.

The fake error message that has been reported by researchers at BleepingComputer is the following:

When the cell phone number itself was researched, it was established via EveryCaller that it appears to originate from the US. However, this may not be its actual location.

Not only this, but users have also reported for the “customer representatives” who are on the other side of the phone to be posing as Microsoft Employees. Not only this, but some users have reported them to have Indian accents. This is very common for tech support scams since most scammers have such accents.

Unlike other tech support scams, for example the 1-855-213-4353 Tech Support scam, that are simply URLs that lock the browser with a reappearing pop-up and display an audio message, this particular scam is malware that is directly installed on the computer.

Step 5 (Optional): Try to Restore Files Encrypted by 1-888-479-3649 Malware.

Ransomware infections and 1-888-479-3649 Malware aim to encrypt your files using an encryption algorithm which may be very difficult to decrypt. This is why we have suggested several alternative methods that may help you go around direct decryption and try to restore your files. Bear in mind that these methods may not be 100% effective but may also help you a little or a lot in different situations.

Method 1: Scanning your drive’s sectors by using Data Recovery software.
Another method for restoring your files is by trying to bring back your files via data recovery software. Here are some suggestions for preferred data recovery software solutions:

Method 2: Trying Kaspersky and EmsiSoft’s decryptors.
If the first method does not work, we suggest trying to use decryptors for other ransomware viruses, in case your virus is a variant of them. The two primary developers of decryptors are Kaspersky and EmsiSoft, links to which we have provided below:

Method 3: Using Shadow Explorer

To restore your data in case you have backup set up, it is important to check for Volume Shadow Copies, if ransomware has not deleted them, in Windows using the below software:

Shadow Explorer

Method 4: Finding the decryption key while the cryptovirus sends it over a network via a sniffing tool.

Another way to decrypt the files is by using a Network Sniffer to get the encryption key, while files are encrypted on your system. A Network Sniffer is a program and/or device monitoring data traveling over a network, such as its internet traffic and internet packets. If you have a sniffer set before the attack happened you might get information about the decryption key. See how-to instructions below:

I got this fake BSOD message on my computer (on April 24, 2016) when attempting to get the portable software I want. Once I finished the installation of the software I want, lots of programs that I don’t already use get on my computer. Later, I did try restarting my computer several times, and later, I got this fake BSOD yet again.
So, I have figured a problem to solve. I go to Safe Mode and remove the programs that I don’t use. And few hours later, everything on my computer is back to normal.

  Hello, Daniel
  From what you said, it appears that you may have installed a so called PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) on your computer. This has most likely resulted in many advertisements and even malvertising on your computer. Such malicious adverts and browser redirects caused by the PUP may have led to an infected URL (web link) which may have caused a drive-by download or another type of attack on your computer, that may have situated a Fake BSOD Lockscreen. This threat is not that dangerous, but it may cause some headache. It is a good idea that you have entered safe mode to remove it. This means that it was actively running in your Task Manager.
  In case you still get errors while booting your PC, try the following tutorial.
  To fix your registry entries and restore settings in the registry editor see the following instructions.
