How to remove Anti-Virus Number-1?
What is Anti-Virus Number-1?
Anti-Virus Number-1 is a fake anti-viral program, which uses the notorious trojan Zlob to enter the system. This parasite relies on intimidation and disinformation to trick the user into purchasing it’s “full version”. Anti-Virus Number-1 is a clone of the not-so-successful Anti-Virus 1.
Upon entering the system, Anti-Virus Number-1 will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. This information may coincidentally be true, but Anti-Virus Number-1 has neither the ability to detect nor remove any of the threats. Much like any other rogue security program, Anti-Virus Number-1 performs fake system scans, which produce greatly exaggerated results, oftentimes including false positives.
Anti-Virus Number-1 may look like your typical Windows application, but is actually a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it’s homepage using your HOSTS file.
