Fake Spam page: "Ten Things Girls Should Never Say to Guys"

Today, I found another interesting post on my wall, which caught my attention. This is again related to fake and spam pages on Facebook which is posted earlier in my blog past months. This page claims around 313K fans to lure users. This is also doing the same task, automatically posting at your wall and suggesting others as you like this page, which you haven't done, this application page does it for you. Along with all these weird activities, it will serve you with Adwares and Spywares. If you want to know more about it, please scroll down.

Have a look to this page. This is a fake spam page, using the quote "Ten Things Girls Should Never Say to Guys" for enticing naive users to perform certain clicks. This is not much dangerous as compare to earlier ones, which used to install Backdoors and Trojans, but yes, it installs Adware, which could be also a Spyware.

As for my analysis, this time I decided instead of clicking on "Like" button, I'll click somewhere else where they are telling me to click. So i did and landed up to this page:
This page ask me to prove I'm human, not a bot. But actually it doesn't make any sense. I noticed it is random, only one out of two is functioning. If BLUE one is functioning and if u clicked RED first, u'll find, it works. but if RED one is functioning and u clicked BLUE followed by RED, it doesn't make any sense.
In both of the cases, it will take you to another page, which looks like age confirmation page, look like something at your right. Which I believe a fake confirmation. This is used to trick naive users. See the next page and u'll come to know why they are asking you to confirm.

Here comes the real story, this page will tell you to download two sophisticated Adwares which may be spywares named:

"Create a cartoon image of yourself for your Facebook profile"
and
"Get free Smileys for AIM and other IM programs".
If you click on these links, you will land on two different application download pages, which respectively are like this,

These two applications are meant for the special purpose for what they are claiming. Upon clicking, these pages will serve you two different nice applications. I personally suspected , Apart from their usual business, they are doing something unusual. So I decided to upload these binaries to virustotal for verification, and the results were eye opening. These binaries which I recently downloaded are not a plain applications, they are Adwares and possibly Spywares.
Virustotal analysis is shown below:Once these Adware/Spyware installed on your system, this programs can collect various types of personal information, such as Internet surfing habits and sites that have been visited and could also allow remote attacker to access your computer. This all will be done without your consent, because you have already allowed them to run on your system.

Along with these activities, you will find something on your wall, which look like this:
This will be posted on your wall which shows that you like this page and suggesting others to like the same, which is very much weird. and you actually haven't done.

After putting all these efforts, I was not able to know what are those 10 things which girls should never say to boys, isn't it funny.

Here, I suggest you friends there not to like or allowing access to your profile, who are using FB and blindly clicking on the pages to like without thinking what these pages are doing. Whenever you find any pages which tell you to like first then shows you the content, this is enough to sense something fishy is there. So please beware of these pages.

Similar things I posted earlier in my blog, kindly refer to gain more knowledge about these fake pages. Kindly let me know if you observe anything unusual, over internet obviously.
