AntiMalware is a rogue security application trying to convince the user of being a part of Windows security center. Although the program might look like a legitimate system protection tool and imitate some of its actions, the actual purpose of Anti Malware is to destruct the existing computer security and make it accessible for the other malware applications.

AntiMalware is extremely dangerous because it is able to delete the real security programs therefore preventing them from detecting and removing AntiMalware itself. It is also made for stealing money from the users who fall for this trick and actually take AntiMalware for a real security tool. They are urged to purchase AntiMalware in order to keep their computer clean and virus-free. Unfortunately, Anti Malware is not able to provide any system protection services as it is only made for corrupting the system. AntiMalware also displays various fake security warnings, such as:

User’s activity loggers detected!
It’s strongly recommended to remove detected threats right now!

AntiMalware detected the virus of the harmful program on your computer!
Internet Explorer is infected with worm Rootkit.Win32.Agent.pp. This worm can harm your computer.

AntiMalware network security alert
Network attack rejected!
Your computer is being attacked from remote host. Attack has been classified as Remote code execution attempt.
