Vista Antivirus 2013

Vista Antivirus 2013 Description

Vista Antivirus 2013 has the looks of an anti-malware program, but as scamware, Vista Antivirus 2013 consistently displays the ‘bark’ minus the ‘bite.’. Because Vista Antivirus 2013 can’t detect real malware or remove it from your PC, Vista Antivirus 2013 substitutes fake security information to make itself look useful – even when Vista Antivirus 2013 is not doing anything to help your computer and, in fact, even may be attacking it in other ways. SpywareRemove.com malware research team, above all else, discourages spending money on Vista Antivirus 2013, which rewards its criminal designers to no good end. As malicious software that can have a demonstrably negative impact on your security-related system settings, Vista Antivirus 2013 should be deleted with anti-malware software, just like scamware by any other name.

Vista Antivirus 2013: When the Antivirus is Pretty Close to Being a Virus, Itself

Simple observation places Vista Antivirus 2013 into one of the major and actively-developed branches of the FakeRean family of fake anti-malware scanners. Besides its name, which attempts to enhance its appearance of reputability by linking Vista Antivirus 2013 to a version of Windows, Vista Antivirus 2013 is identical to other members of its family and doesn’t have any beneficial security features. Instead of beneficial functions, Vista Antivirus 2013 possesses hostile ones, as SpywareRemove.com malware experts have delineated:

• Vista Antivirus 2013 can launch fraudulent security alerts in several formats, and use all of them to indicate the presence of malicious software or live attacks that aren’t actually in existence.
• Vista Antivirus 2013 also includes a faux system-scanning feature that creates lists of imaginary PC threats, including wide ranges of spyware and Trojans that are identified by technical names. This scan is just a simulation; Vista Antivirus 2013 actually doesn’t try to scan your hard drive or other areas of your computer.
• SpywareRemove.com malware experts warn that Vista Antivirus 2013 may also block access to other programs or even websites, with blockades including additional fake alerts that falsely-indicate that Vista Antivirus 2013 is protecting you from a threat. For example, Vista Antivirus 2013 may block a web browser and display a pop-up alert that announces that the browser is infected with spyware.
• Vista Antivirus 2013 and other members of its family have also been found to have extreme hostility towards certain Windows programs: Windows Update, Windows Defender and Windows Security Center are some of the most prominent examples.
• Other security settings may also be modified in negative ways (through Registry-based attacks). For instance, Vista Antivirus 2013 may prevent Windows from displaying notifications when changes to your firewall are made.
