What is UltimateAntivirus?

UltimateAntivirus is a rogue anti-spyware program related to the XP Antivirus group of fake anti-spyware programs running around loose in the internet. UltimateAntivirus uses Trojan viruses like Vundo or Zlob to get into your computer. The most common place to pick up these viruses is on porn websites. Once on your computer, UltimateAntivirus uses scare tactics, such as pop-ups that say you are infected, to get you to go to a website and buy a “fully licensed” version for $35-$80.

When you download and install the “full version” and run it, more malware gets onto your system. The program will say it found some parasites and got rid of them, but really it opened your system to control by outside sources that can steal your bank account information and other sensitive data, opening you up to identity theft.

Share some exciting news with everyone..
I would like to share some exciting news with everyone. I recently discovered Search-and-destroyAntispyware (http://www.Search-and-destroy.com/antispyware.html) and it’s the best scanner that I’ve used so far. It picks the same type of bugs that the better known and more expensive scans do and it’s so easy to get. The antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy is the perfect solution for taking care of your computer. I know it’s made a difference for me and I’m so glad that I gave it a try. I really believe that you will benefit from this scan as much as I have and I recommend that you give it a try.
