It does not seem like we are going to see the end of dangerous fake antivirus applications anytime soon. The “hottest” rogue antispyware application is here already and it is called Titan Antivirus 2013. Generally, there is nothing extremely new about this infection, because it belongs to a group of similar computer threats, but that does not mean you should not take it seriously. The rogue comes having your money in mind as its main target, and unless you remove Titan Antivirus 2013 from your computer, it is very likely that in the long run your system will be crippled.
Titan Antivirus 2013 is a new version of PC Defender Plus, PC Defender 360 and other similar infections, so you basically know what to expect of it. This fake AV enters your system surreptitiously and then the application is configured to run automatically each time you turn on your computer. This way, with every Windows boot, Titan Antivirus 2013 launches a fake system scan that detects an extensive number of “threats”. During one of such fake scans, Titan Antivirus 2013 found 52 threats, including Trojan.JS.Redirector.os, Hoax.HTML.Agent.i, Hoax.HTML.OdKlas.a and many more. Needless to say, that these infections are not real, and Titan Antivirus 2013 is making use of the names to instill fear.
