Delete Antivirus Soft

Sep.02, 2010 in Computers

One of the latest rogueware to hit the web is called Antivirus Soft. Don’t be fooled by its name: it is not at all an antivirus product. This program will infect your PC via Trojans. Those ones are usually found when browsing web pages. This malware will be pushed as being a good product (an antivirus one) and that it will be beneficial for your PC. So once installed, this malware will perform a fake system scan of your computer and will report it as being deeply infected. These infections are however either nonexistent or they are created by the virus during the scan. This site Virus Removal has lots of infos about virus removal.

Soon after the installation, Antivirus Soft starts messing with the browser’s settings, which has negative effects on the way you use the Internet. The result is that you will be reoriented to various web pages most of the times when you want to visit some websites. This malware will tell you that the good sites you’re trying to access are indeed dangerous ones. So it will block you of accessing them. Of course, it’s but a lie. You will get annoyed by many pop ups and ads, all over the time. That’s what Antivirus Soft did to your browser’s configuration. Check here Remove Antivirus Soft for more infos about Antivirus Soft.

The scam of Antivirus Soft goes further and involves stealing money besides affecting your operating system. When the program convinces you that your PC is infected, it also recommends you to buy its full version in order to completely get rid of the threats. This malware will lead you to some online website where you will be asked to pay for a fake program.

Even if you dismiss this fake application, you cannot really: it is slowing down your system and you have to remove this spyware from your computer’s system. I do suggest you to effectively delete this rogue program from your PC to find a good online program that will do it automatically for you. You can also manually delete the program, but this is not recommended unless you are very experienced with these sorts of things.
