How to remove Earth AV?
What is Earth AV?
Earth AV is a fake antivirus program that installs into computer systems secretly and offers purchasing its full version. The program is promoted on its official website Earth-AV.com where EarthAV is presented as a tool fixing all your security issues. In reality, purchasing this application is a complete waste of money.
Earth AV is a descendant of earlier well-known Eco Antivirus and Green AV. It uses the same methods of infiltration and acts the same way once inside. Earth AV infiltrates with a help of Trojan viruses and then pretends to be a trial version of an antivirus product. It uses some phony scanners when computer is started. The scanners report about some infections which in fact should be ignored. You must know that Earth AV is not able to detect any real infections so do not trust its scan results.
Later on, the program will offer purchasing its full version claiming that a trial of Earth AV is only able to detect malicious files but in order to remove them you must purchase a licensed version of a program. That is a complete lie and you should have in mind that no version of Earth AV is able to perform any actions of legitimate security tool. It only imitates these functions.
Moreover, Earth AV causes tons of redirections to Earth-AV.com while you are browsing the Internet. It may also generate fake pop up messages and security notifications to make you believe that your system contains tons of problems. Actually the only existing problem is Earth AV application itself. It is strongly recommended to remove Earth AV right after its detection in your system.
