AV Protection 2011 is a newly-appeared rogue that might seem familiar to those of you who have seen AV Security 2012. The two rogues operate in a similar manner, with their only goal being gaining profit from victims.
Using Trojans, the infection creeps into the targeted computer. It then starts constantly producing fake alerts and warnings that claim the PC is at great security risk. Then a bogus scanning tool appears to further consolidate the statements from the alerts. As a result of the scan, the user is prompted to purchase the phony full version of AV Protection 2011.
In case you have noticed AV Protection 2011 working on your computer, remove the rogueware as soon as possible.
