What is Vitae Antivirus 2008?

Vitae Antivirus 2008 is a new rogue anti-spyware program – a fake spyware remover, which uses trojans, such as the infamous Zlob or Vundo, to enter the system. This parasite is a clone of Antivirus 2008 and many others; it relies on misleading advertising to get the user to buy it’s "licensed version".

Once inside and active, Vitae Antivirus 2008 will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him on the existence of an infection or multiple infections. This information may be true, but that doesn’t change the fact that Vitae Antivirus 2008 has neither the ability to detect nor remove any of these "threats" and the disinformation is meant to trick the user into thinking he needs an anti-spyware program.

Vitae Antivirus 2008 doesn’t seem to have a homepage, which is alarming already, and there is no information about the company behind it or any contact details. Vitae Antivirus 2008 is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it’s homepage using your HOSTS file.
