How to remove AVMaster?
What is AVMaster?
AV Master is a new rogue anti-spyware - a fake spyware remover, which uses trojans, such as the infamous Zlob or Vundo, to enter the system. This parasite relies on misleading advertising to get the user to buy it’s licensed version.
Once inside and active, AV Master will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. While this information may actually be true, AV Master has neither the ability to detect nor dispose of these infections. The point of this misleading advertising is to convince the user he is infected and therefore in need of an anti-spyware program.
There is no information about the company behind AV Master available anywhere on the net, presumably because no such company exists. AV Master is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it’s homepage using your HOSTS file.

Thus, manual spyware removal is recommended for experienced users only, such as IT specialists or highly qualified system administrators. For other users, we recommend using automatic spyware removal applications found on 2-viruses.com.

AVMaster is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only AVMaster can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads AVMaster trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, AVMaster offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, AVMaster does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.
Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as AVMaster, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install AVMaster, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as AVMaster, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
