Antivirus - How to remove

Antivirus

Antivirus is a fake security program which is designed to start its activities once after being installed. Just like Defense Center or Protection Center, this program automatically scans the computer for viruses each time Windows are logged in. It must be added that before imitating doing this, Antivirus creates fake files in the system and later after checking detects them as infections.

Antivirus usually reports about hundreds of Trojans, worms and other spyware and tries to scare unaware PC users in that way. Additionally, the program promotes its “licensed” version and asks paying the money for its removal services which are known to be useless. The promotion also consists of hijacking the Internet Explorer of the PC and redirecting the user into some malicious websites where this rogue anti-spyware can be easily downloaded. PC slows down and Windows Security Center is replaced by this scam.

All the PC users should obviously see that Antivirus is a useless application. Don’t agree spend your money for this rogue antispyware because it won’t increase your PC protection. It is highly recommended uninstall Antivirus immediately after detetction.

UPDATE! A new version with a new appearance has been noticed recently! This variant of Antivirus (also called as AnVi) scam was made to look very similar to legitimate security program called Nod32. Antivirus poses to scan computers for malware and also shows alerts to make users pay their money for it.

This malicious program is also known to use the Pragma TDSS infection. Categorized as rootkit, Pragma TDSS hides on OS and makes it difficult for the user to visit legitimate security web-sites. This rootkit terminates legitimate antivirus programs as well and displays such alerts when people launch them:
