Antivirus VIP

Posted: October 27, 2008

Antivirus VIP, also known as AntivirusVIP, is a rogue anti-spyware program and clone of Antivirus XP 2008. Antivirus VIP is usually installed by a Trojan found in spam emails or corrupt downloads such as fake video codecs. Antivirus VIP was created to trick you into believing it's a legitimate spyware remover, however, Antivirus VIP is a fraud and should not be trusted.

Antivirus VIP may use malicious tactics, such as fake popups, system alerts and system scans to make you believe you're infected with numerous infections. In order to remove these spyware infections, Antivirus VIP's messages may redirect you to Antivirus VIP's website (AntivirusVIP.com) or other malicious websites to purchase the rogue "licensed" program. AntivirusVIP will surely give a VIP pass to browser hijacks, misleading spyware scan results, redirects to malware websites and expose your computer to other malware threats.
