Delete Antivirus Soft
One of the latest rogueware to hit the web is called Antivirus Soft. Don’t be fooled by its name: it is not at all an antivirus product. This program will infect your PC via Trojans. Those ones are usually found when browsing web pages. You will be told that Antivirus Soft is a good application: an antivirus product. So once installed, this malware will perform a fake system scan of your computer and will report it as being deeply infected. These infections are however either nonexistent or they are created by the virus during the scan. This site Computer Virus Removal has lots of infos about virus removal.
Soon after the installation, Antivirus Soft starts messing with the browser’s settings, which has negative effects on the way you use the Internet. When visiting a given website, your browser will redirect you to other web pages. The program will justify the blocking of the websites that you plan to visit by letting you know that they are dangerous for the security of your computer, which is false. More than that, the application will constantly display pop ups and ads, also a consequence of the changes it made at the browser’s level.

The scam of Antivirus Soft goes further and involves stealing money besides affecting your operating system. When the program convinces you that your PC is infected, it also recommends you to buy its full version in order to completely get rid of the threats. You will be redirected to a fake web page by this malware. Then you will be asked to buy the full (and false) version.
Even if you don’t buy it and rather ignore this thing: you have to delete this malware from your PC, mostly because it is affecting your system’s performance in a negative way. Just find a good online application that will clean your PC from Antivirus Soft once for all: that’s your best option. You can also manually delete the program, but this is not recommended unless you are very experienced with these sorts of things.
