Antivir is the newest misleading application from the same family of rogues as Alpha Antivirus, Windows Protection Suite and Malware Catcher 2009. All these rogue antispyware applications are nothing more but unwanted software and, without doubts, are not security programs you really need. Being promoted by Trojans usage, Antivir sneaks inside your system without your knowledge and consent, while you visiting different misleading websites or use video codec upgrade to watch movies or videos online. After installation, Antivir is going to reboot your system and then run system scan. All the results of these scans are absolute fake and were made up to make you feel afraid about your PC and influence you to visit badware’s official website where the user is able to purchase and download the registered license. Either way the victim would not be allowed to use Antivir to get rid of all threats. We highly request you not to lose your mind and start purchasing everything Antivir offers you to. Another nasty plan Antivir is going to come true is flooding annoying notifications stating about license importance or security danger without system scan.

Remember that the biggest danger on your computer is Antivir itself that is why it must be removed from your computer and be ignored in future.
