What is REAnti?

REAnti is one more rogue antispyware program which was released by WiniSoft group of malwares. REAnti aims only to get unsuspected users to pay for its “full” version and uses the same malicious methods that have been used by its initials. Just like the clone Keep Cop, this badware impersonates reputable anti-spyware and performs continuous system scans. People are fooled by exaggerated scan results and prompted to register its “full” version which is useless and will never fix any security issue. Don’t fall into this mess because after being installed, “full” version of REAnti will infect the system even more. Moreover, you will notice that your antivirus is disabled as well as Task Manager or other programs.

REAnti is mostly installed through fake video codecs or flash updates. Instead of getting useful programs that are necessary to see online videos PC users get Trojans viruses which download and install REAnti. When settled down, this parasite starts automatically and creates fake malware files which later reports as infections. Undoubtedly, this typical rogue anti-spyware must be eliminated as soon as possible. Being created only to increase the money for its creators, REAnti completely damages the OS. Contact your Credit Card Company to dispute the charges if you have already purchased this scam and delete every file connected to REAnti. Use the removal guide listed below.

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 REAnti can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads REAnti trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, REAnti offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, REAnti 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.
