    Default Antivirus Action

    Just got that freaky thing on my laptop and fought it for hours until it finally gave up and got the fuck of my computer, gotta be one of the most annoying malware/virus whatever they are called i ever seen ;s

    What is Antivirus Action?
    Antivirus Action is another rogue program designed to trick you into paying for software that is not legitimate. It installs itself onto your computer without your permission or knowledge and will immediately begin bombarding you with fake pop up messages that your computer is infected. You are then instructed to pay for the full version of the software in order to remove all of the “fake” infections that Antivirus Action has found. It is important that you not fall for these deceptive tactics and also that you remove Antivirus Action as soon as possible.


    How did I get it?
    Most common method is through maliciously coded web sites that popup a fake scan of your computer. An install of the malware is then performed wheher you agree or not.
    What does it do?

    • Scare you into purchasing bogus software by simulating detection of infections.
    • Hijack your web browser by blocking access to websites of legitimate software vendors.
    • Opens a backdoor for additional spyware or viruses onto your computer




    SERIOUSLY DONT GET IT ;S;S;S

    yeah, good that you fixed it though^^ and I mean really nevad has to be right, writing a complicated virus like that would take a while would it not? who has the time for that? I hate hackers >.<
