AV Center

Posted: April 26, 2010

AV Center (aka AVCenter) is a rogue anti-spyware program designed to pilfer money from hapless computer users. AV Center uses a malicious Trojan to enter the system before redirecting the user to a fake scan page which produces bogus results. Soon the user will be bombarded by popup warnings urging the purchase of AVCenter. Do not fall for this blatant scam and have AV Center and all related threats removed as soon as they have been detected.
