Antivirus System Pro — Just another Scareware

By Paul | Jun 29, 2009

In One of my Previous rants I talked about Antivirus System Pro.  I finally found a site that tried to scare me into downloading critical software updates.

Antivirussystempro

As you can see this site is Spyware-scan-for-free.com but what is most important is that it actually tells you the truth before you install it.   “Some Security Vulnerabilities detected with High probability.  It May damage your files or steal you person and financial information.”  This one site is trying to you make you think you are install critical updates but in reality it is probably do what it states  by clicking the OK.

Although I talked about how to remove this, I would like to talk about just how bad it is to download “Critical security updates” from unknown or untrusted sites. Although most people usually do Google for keywords like “Antivirus System pro” or “Spyware-scan-for-free.com. I will tell you that if you think you have a security problem to go to the Windows update and see if there is an update that need to be applied.

Threat to System : Moderate

Rating: ★★★★☆

Advice : Do a Complete system scan and make sure you don’t have any more hidden malware. Most of the time if you have one Trojan, you usually have more.

I recommend :

Download SAS

Download SUPERAntiSpyware

AVG Technologies - Tough on threats.
Download Malwarebytes

Download Malwarebytes

SUPERAntiSpyware now has an ONLINE Scanner that you can use to help get rid of some of the malware that keeps you from running your anti virus. You should give it a try....

If your current Anti Spyware software let an infection through, you may want to consider buying SuperAntiSpyware Pro for $29.95 or Buying Malwarebytes for $24.95 are two of the best anti-virus software in my opinion which features highly advanced Real-Time Protection to ensure protection from installation or re-installation of potential threats as you surf the Internet.

(Both Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware are trusted Vendors by CCSS Forums).
