AntiKeep Removal Guide

Rogueware applications are threatening more and more computers and find new ways of penetrating into vulnerable PCs. AntiKeep, one of the most widely spread computer viruses, uses Trojans to gain access to targeted computers. The infection finds vulnerabilities in running programs and uses them to enter the machine. All of this is done without letting the owner of the PC know about the deceitful activities. Moreover, this program is so tricky that it even does not need the approval of the user to start its plan.

If you wonder how this intruder finds a way to enter your system, you have to remember that it is usually spread under the form of infected video codecs. You may see an interesting video on the Internet, which will attract you attention and make you wonder what is its content. However, when you try to watch the video, you will not be able to do that because first you need to download some special codec. However, if you decide to download this codec, you will automatically transfer the malicious files to your computer and make it possible for AntiKeep to root itself into your system. The truth is that the video is just a way to mislead you into downloading the infection to your PC.

When the attacker gains access to your PC, it will act as an AV application and pretend to be able to scan your system for errors and infected files. In fact, it is unable to do that because it is just a scam program and it is aimed at making you pay for its useless services. Do not be deceived and do not submit your personal and financial information to the intruder. It will not ensure the safety of your computer and it can even make it possible for other malicious files to penetrate into the system. Furthermore, it can cause a serious system crash if it is not removed immediately.
