Antivirus Sentry
Antivirus Sentry, or AntivirusSentry, is a rogue anti-spyware program and a clone of MS Antivirus 2008, Vista Antivirus 2008 and XP Antispyware 2009. Antivirus Sentry infects computers through Trojan Zlob, popularly used by Trojan makers who add it to fake video codecs so it can later display fake warning messages that drive you to purchase rogue software.
Once Antivirus Sentry infiltrates your system, it may start to annoy you repeatedly with popups or system alert messages used as scare tactics. Antivirus Sentry tricks you into purchasing a full version of the Antivirus Sentry program. Antivirus Sentry does not live up to its expectations as it is not really capable of removing spyware or viruses.
Antivirus Sentry should not be purchased under any circumstances. If you have Antivirus Sentry on your system, then it is recommended that you use a dependable anti-spyware program to locate and remove Antivirus Sentry and its files.
