Global fast Download Media is a private CPA incentive network. : Remove USPS Virus (Uninstall Guide)

First of all, I want to make it very clear that there's no such thing as the USPS virus. Just like any other company USPS is almost continually targeted by scammers and cyber crooks who try steal your personal information or infect your computer with different types of malware. So, when I say USPS virus I have different malicious programs in mind that use the same spreading vector - fake USPS emails. Most of the time, fake email notices from "USPS.com" claim that a package you were actually expecting could not be delivered. It's an old scam actually but unfortunately still works pretty well despite multiple warnings from the company itself and well known security companies. I know that some people are ashamed they fell for it but the truth is there's really no need to be ashamed. Report the scam, learn your lesson and don't repeat the same mistake again.

Fake USPS email notification. Anyone else notice the misspelling?

Infected with the USPS virus? Don't freak out! You aren't the first person to ever get infected. This guide will walk you through removing malware from your computer. Now, you need to understand that this infection is not the same for everyone. Infected email attachments install different malware. You will have to run multiple anti-malware tools to detect and remove it. Very often, it's a combination of a Trojan horse, spyware and malware that can send out email from your email account. So what's the deal with USPS viruses then and why should you try and protect yourself from them? The problem for most people lies in the fact that they are more often than not surreptitiously downloaded onto your computer without your knowledge after you run an infected email attachment. Let's take a closer look at the different types of malware your PC can get infected after opening an infected attachment:

Adware: we all know adware – those annoying pop-up adverts that distract us when we're in the middle of working (or playing) online. Irritating yes, but did you know that adware also monitors the sites that you visit and then targets these ads to you? It might sound useful, but if you have adware on your PC it can have a detrimental effect on your operating and Internet speeds.
Password crackers: ok, these can be a lifesaver if you've lost or forgotten your passwords, but should someone unscrupulous gain access to your log-ins – well, it's definitely not such good news. Jokes: joke programs? Hmmm. Not viral and not usually harmful – but not particularly funny either!
Dialers: this one is definitely no laughing matter. Dialers redirect your Internet connection to someone else's computer. And that means you end up footing the bill for their Internet charges!
Remote admin tools: great if someone you trust needs to fix an issue on your PC. No so fantastic when they're being deployed by a mysterious third party, for example creepware authors.
Spyware: whilst fairly closely related to its cousin adware, spyware can be a lot more intrusive. At its 'best' it will simply monitor your Internet usage habits and send targeted spam mails to your inbox or bombard you with pop-up adverts. At its most dangerous it will collect personal data such as passwords, your contact address book, your hardware and software configurations plus personal identity information such as your name, address, date and place of birth and gender. Its even more malicious form may use key loggers to capture which keys you're hitting. In other words it will be capturing your passwords, credit card information and online banking details

Pop-up adverts can be the least of your worries if you're unlucky enough to get hit by a really nasty USPS malware. I strongly suggest taking steps to protect yourself today. Explore the original notice in greater detail. If you are not sure if it's a genuine email notice, contact USPS and ask for verification. Scan email attachments with anti-malware software before opening them.
