What is Antivirus Protection?
Antivirus Protection is a rogue antivirus software which enters the system mostly with the help of trojans and other malware. This program uses malicious methods such as false scan results and browser/desktop hijacking to trick you into purchasing it. Usually, the program displays fake system warnings and errors to make you think that your computer is compromised and that you should download Antivirus Protection in order to fix those problems. However, this program should be uninstalled immediately after detection, because it is just another scam that targets your money.
Once installed, Antivirus Protection will constantly scan your computer and display assumed infections. It will claim that you must purchase the full version of this program to remove found problems, because current version is able only to detect PC problems. Of course, this is nothing more than just a fraud. First of all, there is no such a thing like registered version of Antivirus Protection. Don’t purchase it, otherwise you will lose your money. If you already purchased it, then contact your bank as soon as possible. Your credit card details might be even sold to other people.
