The file hexdump.exe is a malicious file that is related to the spyware called PC Antispyware 2010. This rogue security program is a clone of the malware Home Antivirus 2010 that slows down the computer and entices the user to purchase the software and pay for its registration. The Trojan Braviax that has previously infected the system drops the PC Antispyware 2010 into the system, and displays fake security alerts about possible or supposedly existing infections to coerce the user to buy the rogue security program. Another possible source of the PC Antispyware 2010 rogue security program are malicious websites that provide fake online scanners. Once installed in the system PC antispyware 2010 will block antivirus programs to protect it from being detected and removed. It will continue to send fake security alerts and conduct scans with fake results until the user is convinced and buys the program.
