Antivir 2010 description
Antivir 2010 is a bogus security application hoping to be mistaken for a legitimate computer protection software. What Antivir 2010 does is perform fake system scans, display counterfeit security warning messages and urge users to pay for using the application. Moreover, not only Antivir 2010 is meant to trick people into buying this fake software, it also performs various malicious actions which may cause serious computer problems.
Antivir 2010 is an online parasite caught by those with poor system protection upon vising one out of number of corrupt websites. Antivir 2010 is usually installed by trojans without the user's notice, but in some cases it might be downloaded voluntarily. This might happen when people visit the “official” Antivir 2010 website and get convinced that it is a real security software. We sure hope you're not one of them. However, if Antivir 2010 somehow got into your computer, please follow the instructions bellow in order to remove Antivir 2010.
