That is a fake anti virus. It is actually one of the best designed and worst viruses. Mainly because you have to pay for it before you can get it.

Scareware is nothing new. There are thousands of these programs. Best to only download anti-virus programs from trusted sources.

I only trust www.avg.com & www.avast.com

'Download thru the Internet connection' straight away made me know it was something suspicious. Every other product people can send out. 😉

Thanks for the answer to my suspiciousness though.

If there not using a off shore hosting then it should be reported and be taking of the web.

I'm sure these can get done for putting a fake script on the web with no off shore hosting.

Thanks for the news, I normally just use AVG, and Immunet Protect Cloud Antivirus from Viruses.

WinPatrol Plus, Sandboxie free, System Protect, and SuperAntiSpyware Premium to protect myself from spyware, and malware.

A computer at my school had this installed. I deleted it from the computer and the teachers thought I was god. Feels good man.

Most likely there site would have been hosted on offshore server so there nothing we can do :sad:

Just wondering... If it is a virus, why post a link to it?

 

[death180]

So people can avoid it. It's not doing any harm because it can't be downloaded until you purchase it.
