Antivirus Plus is a rogue anti virus scanner. When visiting an URL like hxxp://myreallyty.com/su/in.cgi?18 – something I don’t recommend to do at home – an online virus scanner is started to check your computer system. It won’t take long before the first viruses, malware and trojans are detected.

The online virus scanner gives you the warning that you have several infections: I-Worm.Sobig, TrojanDropper.JS.Mimail and Backdoor.SdBot.gen being one of the most critical infections according to Antivirus Plus.
Antivirus Plus will soon gives you the warning that it can’t clean your computer and offers you the option to download additional software to do so.

The file Installer_70137.exe is downloaded and is known as:
Win32:Trojan-gen (Avast)
Trojan.Win32.Agent2.gnf (F-Prot, Kaspersky)
TrojanDownloader:Win32/Renos.BAO (Microsoft)
Troj/FakeAV-NT (Sophos)
Virus Total permlink and MD5: 916e0f7aef7f1ea6308fa886d41ed750.
