Music is one of the favorite choice for anyone to get entertained. Their are many websites which provide the facilities to listen the songs online and even download too.

Yesterday I visited a site http://www.hamara-sangeet.com. It’s online Indian songs radio, here u will find soothing music. When I select the song and click on the request tab, it asks for the login.

When I logged in, it redirects me to some fraudulent domain and it shows that the users computer is heavily infected. Further it ask the user to download a file which will clean the infection.

This file gets download by the name of scandsk.exe. This file belongs to Backdoor.Proxyier family.
On execution, it allows the attacker to get access of the infected machine. Attacker may gives the instruction to send receive, execute and delete files, harvest confidential data from the computer, log activity on the computer and much more.

Quick Heal browser Protection feature blocks this harmful domain and Quick Heal Online protection removes the downloaded files.
