Proven Antivirus

Proven Antivirus is a rogue anti-virus program that employs backdoor Trojans to open a conduit for it to penetrate a weakly secured system. Proven Antivirus produces misleading system scans to scare users into purchasing the program. ProvenAntivirus also uses corrupt video codecs downloads bundled with Trojans, e-mail spam attachments, fraudulent or questionable websites, misleading advertisements, malicious links found on social networks, browser hijacking attacks, "poisoned" search results, and other aggressive, stealthy tactics to spread.

The Trojans related to Proven Antivirus exploit browser security holes, so it can enter a system without the user's knowledge. When the Trojan-bundled download is activated, it will install ProvenAntivirus before bogus security alerts will appear on the desktop. Proven Antivirus also performs system scans and reports numerous malware infections on the computer. These fake security alerts redirect users to a rogue website which provides the paid licensed version of the useless software.

The authors behind Proven Antivirus have a clear and obvious strategy: to trick innocent users into believing that they have all types of malware problems on their computer and to ask payment for ProvenAntivirus. Proven Antivirus does not have a spyware detection or removal engine, so it will not be able to remove any malware. It is highly recommended that you use a reliable anti-spyware program and remove Proven Antivirus from your PC. Do not click on anything which seems related to this blatant scam and have ProvenAntivirus removed as soon as possible.
