Trojan:Win32/FakeCanine is a family of trojans that claims to scan for malware and displays fake warnings of “malicious programs and viruses”. They then inform the user that they need to pay money to register the software in order to remove these non-existent threats. They change the user’s default Start Page and may change other security-related registry settings. Trojan:Win32/FakeCanine variants have been observed to use names such as “Secure Antivirus Pro.”
