What is Nano Antivirus?

Nano antivirus is another rogue release of Pro Antispyware 2009. After loosing battle on infecting PC's with that scumware, rogue software companies decided to push another clone to force you pay. The differences are insignificant : small changes in design and new names of fake threats in its scan results. In other respects the design stayed the same. Do not believe this rogue! The results are clearly fake, as NanoAntivirus could not detect even simpliest of spywares by itself. And don't be fooled by its version : Nano Antivirus 3.8 is the first and, likely, the last version of this bogus software. <br /> You are at risk of getting Nano antivirus if you use file sharing networks much or just by browsing various websites. Ever-popular fake online scanner websites might suggest using a wondrous tool to fix all your security problems, but all you get is another Rogue in your PC that will slow it down and ask you to pay for removing infections that aren't there. <br /> The payments aren't safe, as your credit card details pass through criminal web servers which might keep the information to use your cards for their own needs. So we suggest following your bank statement or changing your credit card after infection with Nano Antivirus. The company that claims to produce this scam, "Surround Software Solutions" does not exists so there are poor chances to contact them for refund.
