Remove Cloud AV 2012

November 24, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Cloud AV 2012 is the latest member of the family that Cloud Protection belongs to. The newly-appeared rogue is famous for its deceptive interface and cunning manner of frightening users into purchasing its fake full version.

Via Trojans, hidden in compromised websites and online scanners, the rogue makes its way towards the targeted computer. When inside it first makes sure to create its own registry entries in order to get started automatically as soon as the victim turns on the PC. Just like most other phony anti-virus applications, this one produces an enoprmous amount of bogus alerts and notifications and then evokes a fake scanning tool. The scan results are preliminary – the viruses inside it are either non-existent or made-up. The last step of the evil plan is to promote Cloud AV 2012 as a solution to the imaginary threats the scans have found.

In case you have noticed Cloud AV 2012 operating on your computer, remove the rogueware as soon as possible.
