How to remove WinAntivirus?
What is WinAntivirus?
WinAntivirus is a rogue anti-spyware program, which works in much the same way as most rogues do. This parasite typically enters the system by using downloader trojans or drive-by downloads off malicious websites. WinAntivirus relies on misleading advertising to trick users into purchasing it’s “licensed version”, which is just as fake as the trial.
Once inside, WinAntivirus displays popups and fake system notifications, supposedly informing the user of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. These popups urge the user to purchase WinAntivirus as a way of removing the non-existent threats. WinAntivirus will also perform fake system scans, which mark harmless files as threats, and afterwards claim the “full version” is needed to dispose of the infections. Under no circumstances should you trust this application – you are not infected by anything other than WinAntivirus, and it doesn’t work in the first place.
There is nothing to gain from owning WinAntivirus, only tons of annoying popups and a slow system. Remove WinAntivirus the second you notice it on your system.

WinAntivirus is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. 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 WinAntivirus can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads WinAntivirus trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, WinAntivirus offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, WinAntivirus 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.
Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as WinAntivirus, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install WinAntivirus, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as WinAntivirus, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
