Don't Be Fooled by Antivirus09

Antivirus09 is a new rogue anti-spyware application designed to rob users of their money. Don't be fooled by this program, as it is a total fake. It will inform you of numerous infections and security threats that supposedly exist on your computer. These messages are totally fabricated, so don't be duped in to downloading the software. It will place additional malware on your PC.

How does Antivirus09 become installed on your PC? Usually from visiting porn/warex sites. It frequently installs through the spread of Trojans like Vundo and Zlob through video codecs. This application can cause severe damage to your hard drive, and steal personal information. Like most other rogue anti-spyware programs, it should be removed immediately. The longer it resides on your PC, the more damage it can cause.

Here is a common scenario: As you surf or perform other business on the internet, a message pops up alerting you to severe security threats and infections. If you take the desired action and download the free scan, you will be informed that parasites are so severe that you must purchase the licensed version of the product to completely remove these infections. The results of this scan are totally false, as Antivirus09 cannot detect or remove anything at all. It is simply a ploy to take your money.

What are some of the common signs of being infected with this rogue? A slowing of your PC is very common. You can't help but notice that you are getting bombarded with pop-up ads. Your browser may be hijacked, meaning that sites you attempt to visit are blocked, and other malicious sites are where you end up. These applications can steal private information such as passwords and credit card numbers. Frequently, they will collect information about your online habits, such as the searches you perform and websites you visit.

To remove Antivirus09, execution files must be killed and all related files deleted. Manual removal is not recommended because some files hide from you and are hard to locate. Missing any files related to the application will cause it to reinstall upon start up of your PC. This should only be attempted by a professional, because incomplete removal can severely damage your computer and sometimes make it impossible to repair.

Legitimate anti-spyware applications scan your PC for infections, parasites and security threats. Once detected, they are removed so that security is restored to your computer. The only problem with this is that many authentic programs are not technologically advanced enough to perform thorough removal. Traces of infection that are left behind are capable of installing additional malware, which leaves you in danger.

Do you believe that Antivirus09 or some other malicious software resides on your PC? Click here now for a scan using Spyzooka, the only one guaranteed to work with just one scan.
