AVASoft Professional Antivirus Firewall Fake Alert

Posted: March 21, 2013

AVASoft Professional Antivirus Firewall Fake Alert Screenshot 1AVA Soft Professional Antivirus Firewall fake alert is one of the most prominent fake pop-up warnings from AVASoft Antivirus Professional, a fake anti-malware product that detects nonexistent attacks against your computer. Other than referencing the name of this new variant of scamware, AVA Soft Professional Antivirus Firewall fake alert is identical to similar pop-up warnings that also are generated by various members of WinWebSec, a mildly eclectic family of fake security programs. The AVA Soft Professional Antivirus Firewall fake alert will announce that your PC has been attacked by information-stealing malware, but isn't affiliated with a real firewall program and can neither detect nor block a spyware infection. Given these limitations, SpywareRemove.com malware experts recommend that you remove AVA Soft Professional Antivirus Firewall fake alert's appearances by removing AVASoft Antivirus Professional, which can be done with most legitimate brands of anti-malware scanners.

Catching the Real Heat from an AVA Soft Professional Antivirus Firewall Fake Alert

AVA Soft Professional Antivirus Firewall fake alert is designed to look like a Windows pop-up warning that's similar to the default Windows Firewall alert, with several noteworthy differences: AVA Soft Professional Antivirus Firewall fake alert doesn't block real malware and promotes AVASoft Antivirus Professional, a rogue anti-malware scanner that actually isn't capable of defending your computer from any PC threats whatsoever. AVA Soft Professional Antivirus Firewall fake alert's appearances usually are associated with extended usage of your web browser, and AVASoft Antivirus Professional also may use other browser-based attacks to block websites or redirect your browser to harmful sites (such as Tech-ava-soft.org).

AVA Soft Professional Antivirus Firewall fake alert's text claims that AVA Soft Professional Antivirus Firewall fake alert has blocked a keylogger (a form of spyware that records any keyboard-typed information), but SpywareRemove.com malware experts can confirm that AVA Soft Professional Antivirus Firewall fake alert doesn't have the ability to detect such PC threats. Although the threats that AVA Soft Professional Antivirus Firewall fake alert detects are fictitious, AVASoft Antivirus Professional may create a variety of problems, including blocking programs without your consent, that can make it appear as if other types of malware are attacking your PC.

Dodging Being Burned by AVA Soft Professional Antivirus Firewall Fake Alert

AVA Soft Professional Antivirus Firewall fake alert's purpose is to encourage you to spend money on AVASoft Antivirus Professional, which SpywareRemove.com malware analysts, naturally, discourage. AVA Soft Professional Antivirus Firewall fake alert is not the only type of pop-up alert that AVASoft Antivirus Professional may employ in its attempts to mislead its victims, and, until your computer is disinfected, you should be careful to distinguish between real system warnings and Winwebsec-based fake ones.

Other members of the Winwebsec family of which AVA Soft Professional Antivirus Firewall fake alert's AVASoft Antivirus Professional is a part include the Fake MS Removal Tool, Essential Cleaner, Live Security Platinum, Disk Antivirus Professional, Security Shield and System Security. SpywareRemove.com malware experts also find it worth mention that AVA Soft Professional Antivirus Firewall fake alert does not appear to be updated from past fake alert templates that other variants of Winwebsec have used (apart from referencing the new variant, AVASoft Antivirus Professional).

To prevent AVA Soft Professional Antivirus Firewall fake alert from appearing and interfering with your normal computer usage, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers suggest using legitimate anti-malware products to delete the source of AVA Soft Professional Antivirus Firewall fake alerts. If Winwebsec scamware blocks your security products, you may consider booting from Safe Mode or a peripheral device.
