Antivirus System 2011 Description

Antivirus System 2011 is a rogue scanning program that usually infects computers with the assistance of more subtle Trojans. Computers that host Antivirus System 2011 will display a number of grossly inaccurate error messages.

After the Error Message Masquerade

The error messages Antivirus System 2011 causes aren’t very harmful although they can be alarming, but unfortunately, this rogue product has more up its sleeve for you. Although Antivirus System 2011 isn’t able to delete files like other malware, Antivirus System 2011 may perform other malicious actions.

Antivirus System 2011 will change your registry to enable Antivirus System 2011 to start up with Windows. This causes Antivirus System 2011 to take up needless resources and may make it difficult for you to access the rest of your computer.
Your web browser will be redirected towards the Antivirus System 2011 homepage – antivirussystem2011tech.com. This website should never be intentionally visited, since antivirussystem2011tech.com is as malicious as Antivirus System 2011 itself, and may attempt to infect your system with even more malware.
Antivirus System 2011 may also use resources grossly in excess of what Antivirus System 2011 requires, and will resist any attempts to shut Antivirus System 2011 down or remove it through ordinary means.
