Your PC is Not Protected Popup
Your PC is not protected popup is a fake security alert from fake spyware remover AntivirusBEST. This fabricated warning message reads as follows:
"Your PC is not protected. Security center reports that AntivirusBEST is inactive. Antivirus software helps to protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. Click here for the suggested actions. Your system might be at risk now."
Your PC is not protected popup is merely a tool used by AntivirusBEST to scare you into purchasing and downloading the rogue spyware remover. Do not be fooled. Remove as soon as possible.
