AntivirusPlasma – The Ugly Truth

The computer industry has seen AntivirusPlasma before under a different name: Antivirus2009. If you are familiar with Antivirus2009 you will let out a groan. If not, you may let out a groan after I tell you about AntivirusPlasma.

AntivirusPlasma is a rogue security program. I call it rogue because it is fake, and there is nothing this program can do for you. It will do much to you, but nothing for you.

AntivirusPlasma starts out by flooding your computer with alarming but false pop-ups telling you that your computer is infected and only AntivirusPlasma can fix it. Do not fall for this. If you go to the website the pop-ups direct you to you are given a fake scan, told your computer is very infected, and then pressured to buy AntivirusPlasma. There is no full version of AntivirusPlasma. You would be paying for a trial version. No, let me correct myself--you would be paying for malware, adware and spyware. The AntivirusPlasma site asks for either $49.95 or $79.95 for the “software.”

Removal as soon as possible will save your computer, because if you let the infection stay on your computer you are looking at real damage done to your computer. Look for a dependable--and real--antispyware program. In my opinion you should never spend more than $40 for one.
