What is AV 7?

AV7 (also called as AV 7) is a typical rogue anti-spyware which helps to accomplish commercial goals for its creators. AV 7 is a direct copy of Antivirus 7 also developed for the same malicious reasons, so it similarly reports numerous threats detected after scanning the system.

AV7, just like most of fake anti-spywares, is distributed via trojans infections that infiltrate target PC without any authorization at all. The same Trojans create and drop on the system fake randomly named files and also include Registry modifications to help AV 7 start once the computer boots up. Additionally, after its secret intrusion malware starts its typical misleading campaign dedicated to rip unsuspecting user off. AV7 shows bogus system scanners, pop-up ads and security warnings once it becomes active and additionally starts reporting that machine is in danger and needs to be fixed.
