Antivirus Scan Removal Guide

Antivirus Scan is a fake computer security program. It is a direct clone of Antivirus Action, even though the interfaces of these two programs look absolutely different. Antivirus Scan is a so-called rogue antispyware which means that it cannot live up to its promises and it only damages computers instead of saving them from malicious infections. Not matter what this rogue might claim; you must not believe it, because you would end up losing all of your money if you follow through the instructions given to you by Antivirus Scan.

You must refrain from clicking suspicious links or visiting unfamiliar websites, because that is one of the mean of distribution for Antivirus Scan. Such rogues can also be delivered via spam email, so you must delete mail messages from unknown random users immediately, especially if they have an attachment and encourage you to open or unzip it the moment you open the message. Do not forget that the attachment might be carrying Antivirus Scan and you surely wouldn’t want this rogue residing in your computer.

However, when or if the rogue is downloaded, the installation proceeds smoothly with no confirmation from the user. Then Antivirus Scan is configured the way to start automatically along with the Windows and when your computer is on, Antivirus Scan pops up into your screen, performing the fake system scan and founding numerous “infections”. The malware listed among the detected threats include backdoors, downloaders, password stealers, Trojans and what not. There is also inconsistency within Antivirus Scan’s interface. The bar which describes the malware “detected” is called “Location”, even though no information on the path of the file is given. So it is more than obvious that this scan is fake.

Just as fake as the following messages sent to you by Antivirus Scan:

Antivirus software alert
Infiltration alert
Your computer is being attacked by an Internet virus. It could be password-stealing attack, a trojan-dropper or similar.

Windows Security Alert
Windows reports that computer is infected. Antivirus software helps to protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. Click here for the scan your computer. Your system might be at risk now.

What is more, Antivirus Scan will change your internet settings so that it will not allow you to access your favorite websites, saying that the sites are infected and you need to activate the antivirus software in order to check for any spyware in your computer. Everything is a total lie and you must remove Antivirus Scan from your system before it claimed a huge chunk of your hard-earned money. Do not even think of registering this program or buying a full version of it. Rather than that, acquire a reliable antimalware tool that will delete Antivirus Scan for you. Keep your computer clean and your antivirus program updated if you want to avoid similar infections in the future!
