Antivirus Protection rogue security software is one of the latest system threats. It acts typically like all other fake anti-spyware programs. First, it comes into PC in a hidden manner, so you aren’t able to trace or terminate its concealed installation. Then it amends your system settings in a manner that would allow it to start automatically together with Windows. The rogue starts to scan your computer and then detects many fake infections. The next aim of it is to convince you to make the payment for the full version of this software. It promises that by obtaining its licensed version you would get rid of all threats that represent danger for your system security. The program says that it will protect your computer in times of virus aggression. It promises to become your personal security sentinel. The sad thing is that all such statements given by Antivirus Protection 2012 scareware do not match its real abilities. In other worlds, the words spoken out by this program do not coincide with the actions. This is all because Antivirus Protection is a fake anti-malware and not some legitimate security program.
Antivirus Protection scam does not act really aggressively compared to other fake anti-viruses. It does not block your Internet access. It thus allows you to download, install, update and run the security software of your preference. If you have such anti-spyware programs already installed you may go ahead and launch them. Simply ignore all fake security notifications of Antivirus Protection rogue (if they come up). You may delete this virus using the decent anti-malware program. The download button for such program is given in the right-hand part of this blog.
