UserVaccine

Posted: December 10, 2010

Security experts have revealed that UserVaccine (User Vaccine) is a fake computer security program. The rogue program stems from Korea and uses false positives to convince users that their computer is infected with all sorts of malware, including viruses, trojans, worms and spyware. Annoying pops-up will bombard the targeted system claiming that User Vaccine is the solution to all the computer's malware problems. Unwary computer users will fall for this blatant cyber scam which tries to pilfer their money. UserVaccine is useless and will not remove any malware from a PC. This rogue should be terminated immediately using a recognized malware remover.
