What is System Antivirus 2008?

System Antivirus 2008 is a rogue anti-spyware program and a clone of Antivirus 2008. This parasite uses trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo, to enter the system and also to spread it's disinformation. These trojans typically lurk in porn/warez websites disguised as  video codecs. Upon entering the system, they flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to "inform" him on an infection or multiple infections present on the system. To remove these infections you have to purchase the "licensed version", which is no more real than any trial version, should there be one.

SystemAntivirus 2008 uses the following message to mislead users:

“WARNING! Attack Detected.
Possible harmful action has been detected from remote host.

SystemAntivirus2008 has detected possible harmful actions from remote computer on the network. Blaster/Sasser.variant worm behavior detected. You have to register your copy to get full protection feature set and an ability to defeat upcoming threats. To begin online registration, please click “Activate now” button below.”

In the event that you actually fall for the scam (which is highly unlikely with all the obvious giveaways), don't expect to ever see your money again, since there is no company to give it back to you, and, obviously, no contact details whatsoever.

System Antivirus 2008 is a scam just like every other clone of Antivirus 2008. Do NOT trust it and above all, do not buy it. Block SystemAntivirus 2008's homepage for maximum protection.
