Windows Basic Antivirus
Windows Basic Antivirus Description
Windows Basic Antivirus is a rogue anti-virus application that uses virus-riddled scans and a range of different fake alerts to make you believe that multiple types of PC threats are attacking your computer. This is just the startup phase of a fraud, however, since SpywareRemove.com malware experts have found that Windows Basic Antivirus is unable to detect or remove viruses, in addition to being damned by its strong resemblance to other forms of scamware with the FakeVimes designation. Besides being a hoax of virus security, Windows Basic Antivirus is also a direct threat to your computer’s security, since Windows Basic Antivirus may also hijack your web browser, block unrelated programs under false pretenses or replace critical system tools with its own (and fake) utilities. Naturally, it’s recommended that you get rid of Windows Basic Antivirus the very instant you see the first of Windows Basic Antivirus’s pop-ups, hopefully with a suitable anti-malware program that’s capable of removing Windows Basic Antivirus without side effects.
Why Windows Basic Antivirus’s Security is Even More Basic Than It Wants You to Think
Windows Basic Antivirus may appear to be a multifunctional anti-virus scanner with anti-phishing features, firewall control and other sophisticated options, but that’s because Windows Basic Antivirus is a shame that’s copied straight from the template of other members of the Rogue.VirusDoctor group. These fake anti-virus scanners don’t have even one of the many features that they pretend to possess, although Windows Basic Antivirus and similar PC threats will do their best to trick you with fake alerts, fake scanner results and other forms of inaccurate system info.
If you’ve acquired a Windows Basic Antivirus infection, there’s not much that you can do to stop Windows Basic Antivirus from displaying these warnings, since Windows Basic Antivirus will launch itself without your consent and try to remain active in Windows. Windows Basic Antivirus may also display automatic scans that indicate that a range of viruses and other PC threats are on your computer. However, these PC threats don’t exist, and you should never buy Windows Basic Antivirus to remove them – instead, removing Windows Basic Antivirus, itself, will solve your Rogue.VirusDoctor-derived problems.
