What is Anti-Virus Elite?

Anti-Virus Elite (also you can find it called as Anti-Virus Elite v5.0, Anti-Virus Elite or Anti-Virus Elitev5.0) is a rogue anti-spyware program that reports false results and offers to buy its commercial version that is also false. Anti-Virus Elite is closely associated to the dangerous Anti-Virus Professional, so typically to its predecessor, it seeks only to steal your money. You will be surprised after noticing this program on your computer because it comes without any sign after clicking on a bad link or downloading malicious Video Codec.

Anti-virus Elite usually tries to make people take it as a legit and reliable program. At the beginning this worthless piece of malware enables all the security programs detected and drops its own fake files on the compromised machine. Once it is done, Anti-virus Elite feels free to show for its victim fake system scanners and warnings about hundreds of infections found. Imposer displays fabricated alerts about malicious activity found on the computer and offers a typical solution – buy a “licensed” version of Anti-Virus Elite.

The real situation is that Anti-Virus Elite is fake spyware remover which is incapable to detect and delete any infection. It alerts for the user only about its own invented parasites and offers to purchase its useless version which will turn off its dangerous warnings for 6 months. Anti-Virus Elite is nothing but a scam, so please use a reputable anti-spyware and delete it as soon as possible.
