Remove Antivirus.exe (Removal Instructions)

October 9th, 2009 | by Alex |

Antivirus Descriptions:

Antivirus is the rogue anti-spyware program installed or promoted through different Trojans. It is from the same family as Antivirus Pro 2010. When the application is installed, it will configure the registry in such a way that it will always star automatically. The Trojans will also create files with random names which will be detected as malicious after the software performs the computer scan.

These illegal actions are taken because Antivirus wants to convince you that your computer is infected, and the only way to get rid of this harm is to buy the full version of the software. But beware – this is only the trap.

Do not install the application on your computers. Remove it, if you have already done that.
