Antivirus Plus

Antivirus Plus Description



ScreenshotAntivirus Plus, also known as AntivirusPlus or Antivirus +, is a rogue anti-spyware program known to usually infect computers through Trojans bundled in fake video codec downloads. You may also have downloaded Antivirus Plus’s trial version from a malicious website thinking it would get rid of your spyware issues.

Once Antivirus + is installed, it will issue fake popups and system notification messages stating that your computer system is flooded with spyware.

In order to remove these imaginary threats, Antivirus Plus will offer its “licensed” version. All links provided by Antivirus Plus will most likely redirect you to Antivirus Plus’s website (antivirus-plus.org) or other corrupt websites that distribute Antivirus Plus as a legitimate software. Moreover, Antivirus Plus is able to emulate a computer system scan and display a list of spyware infections as a result. In addition, Antivirus Plus may download additional malware and may launch on every Windows startup.
