WinPC Antivirus - How to remove

WinPC Antivirus

WinPC Antivirus is a rogue anti-spyware application. This parasite  is obviously a clone of another rogue called WinPC Defender. It seems that creators of WinPC Defender have changed only the user-interface and have released WinPC Antivirus as a new product. However, WinPC Defender still remains useless and even dangerous application. In other words WinPC Antivirus is a scam.

WinPC Antivirus is usually promoted through the use of trojan viruses that display fake security alerts and pop-ups with various infections. Once installed and active, Win PC Antivirus proceeds to perform malicious tactics, such as fake system scan and floods the system with security alerts about malware, spyware and other infections. Here’s one of the security notifications you may receive:

FIREWALL WARNING 
Hidden file transfer to remote host was detected

WinPC Anrivirus has detected that somebody is trying to transfer your private data via Internet. We strongly recommend you to block the attack immediately. 
Details of the attack 
Remote host transfer IP: 97.216.34.74 
Remote user computer name: FORENSICS 
User E-mail: 
IP-adress: 
Blocking is recommended [Block attack] [Allow]

The main goal however is to scare the user and convince him to buy a full version of WinPC Antivirus. Unfortunately, WinPCAntivirus won’t help you to remove those infections, simply because it is an infection itself. It is highly recommneded to remove WinPC Antivirus upon detection.

  1. My home computer has this. My husband opened an email from someone he knows and its been just like you described and we’ve spent the last couple of evenings trying to get this taken care of. We have Adaware Program and the Norton Anitvirus and this will not take care of it.

  2. I chose to manually remove it, and it worked with no problems. I didn’t have 2 of the keys that it suggested to remove, but I removed the others. Thanks!
