How to remove Express Antivirus 2009?
What is Express Antivirus 2009?
Express Antivirus 2009 is a rogue anti-spyware program, a fake spyware remover, which uses trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo, to enter the system, but can also be manually downloaded and installed. This parasite will try to intimidate the user into buying it’s "licensed version".
Once inside and active, Express Antivirus 2009 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 parasite is likely a clone of the ever-so-popular Antivirus 2009, and will therefore hijack the browser just as the latter. Express Antivirus 2009 will try to reassure it’s claims by providing falsified system scan reports. The endpoint of the scheme comes when the user is prompted to pay for the full version in order to dispose of the fake threats.
ExpressAntivirus2009.com, the home of this scam, might appear like a legitimate website, but many details point out this assumption as faulty. There is no original content – most of it has been copy+pasted from one rogue website or another, there are no contact details, the testimonials are clearly fake and the payment system doesn’t work. Oh, and the registrant seems to be a rather interesting fellow:
