Win 7 Antivirus 2014

Posted: September 8, 2014

Threat Metric

The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count, Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.

The following fields listed on the Threat Meter containing a specific value, are explained in detail below:

Threat Level: The threat level scale goes from 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest level of severity and 1 is the lowest level of severity. Each specific level is relative to the threat's consistent assessed behaviors collected from SpyHunter's risk assessment model.

Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat. The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter.

Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis. High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.

Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat. Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement.

% Impact (Last 7 Days): This demonstrates a 7-day period change in the frequency of a malware threat infecting PCs. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.

Threat Level:	10/10
Infected PCs:	133

Along with closely-related scamware designed for other versions of Windows, Win 7 Antivirus 2014 is a rogue anti-virus scanner that uses its pop-up warnings and scans to provide inaccurate system information, thereby rationalizing its requests for you to purchase its registration key. Because Win 7 Antivirus 2014 is designed to cripple your PC's security, rather than assist it, purchasing Win 7 Antivirus 2014 never is a beneficial decision. Malware experts find that uninstalling Win 7 Antivirus 2014 via legitimate anti-malware software is the surest way to protect your PC from Win 7 Antivirus 2014's many side effects, which may include deleted applications and browser hijacks.

An Antivirus that Specializes in Breaking Windows

While fake security programs have had minimal evolutionary breakthroughs in the past few years, they do continue to rotate through new names to keep PC users as ignorant as possible. As one of the latest examples of just such a name change for old scamware, Win 7 Antivirus 2014 continues to be capable of faking anti-virus features while avoiding any legitimate functions that could protect your PC. As a result, the most identifiable symptoms of a Win 7 Antivirus 2014 typically include warning pop-ups for fake threat detections, including those for high-level threats, such as keylogging Trojans and other forms of spyware. Win 7 Antivirus 2014 also may provide fraudulent 'scans' of your PC that detect the real names of threatening software – that isn't on your machine.

Malware researchers also see a justification for concern with Win 7 Antivirus 2014's other functions, which may attack and impede your operating system's basic security features. Programs may close immediately after they launch, the Registry may be modified to prevent you from taking advantage of security features like the Windows Firewall and your Web browser may be redirected to corrupted websites. Until you've prevented Win 7 Antivirus 2014 from starting automatically, you may find your ability to use PC security websites or software to be heavily restricted.

Restoring Windows from an Encounter with Win 7 Antivirus 2014

While Win 7 Antivirus 2014 presents itself as a product for detecting and eliminating threatening software, Win 7 Antivirus 2014 does not have any real security features, and its simple presence on any PC always is a security issue. If you're unable to delete Win 7 Antivirus 2014 due to your real anti-malware tools being blocked, you can disable Win 7 Antivirus 2014 (and most other PC threats) by undertaking the appropriate security steps, such as booting your PC from a spare USB drive. Then, it may be required that you reinstall the software removed by Win 7 Antivirus 2014.

Some PC users attacked by Win 7 Antivirus 2014 and other scamware from the FakeRean families prefer to 'register' the scamware prior to removing it. This registration process never should be purchased, but malware researchers find no risks in using freely-circulated keys to register Win 7 Antivirus 2014. All of the above precautions also are equally relevant to other members of Multi-Rogue 2014, which include Antivirus 2008 Pro, Antivirus XP 2008, Windows Antivirus 2008, Vista Antivirus 2008, PC Clean Pro, Antivirus Pro 2009, Rogue.Vista Antivirus 2008, AntiSpy Safeguard, ThinkPoint, Spyware Protection 2010, Internet Antivirus 2011, Palladium Pro, XP Anti-Virus 2011, CleanThis, XP Security 2012, XP Home Security 2012 and AntiVirus PRO 2015.
