Anti-Virus-1. Rogue by all means
Anti-Virus-1 is another fake spyware remover which is very similar to Antivirus 2010. AntiVirus-1 uses trojan viruses such as Zlob or Vundo to enter the system. The main goal of this prasite is to trick money from inexperienced or simple-hearted people. Sadly, but it seems that this money stealing scheme still works quite well.Â
After infection, Anti-Virus-1 is automatically configured to run before any other programs. Then this parasite performs a fake system scan and reports bogus results about various infections and security problems. Fake information is usually presented with officious pop-up windows and other notifications. These infections are made up in oder to scare users. The user of infected system has to ignore fake information, otherwise he may became a victim of a fraud. Cyber-thieves promots their rogue product by all means. It is very important to resist their influence and remove Anti-Virus-1 from the system upon detection.
