Rogue Anti-Spyware Add comments

AntiMalware Description:

Trusting the application called AntiMalware (or Anti Malware) only because of the way it sounds is a big mistake. Take a look at the screenshot below – if this program is on your computer, make its removal your number 1 goal for the near future. AntiMalware is a rogue anti-spyware program and a clone of the notorious Active Security junk program. AntiMalware needn’t observe any regular requirements for program installation and outrageously ignores them by intruding on your computer without your knowledge and consent. Having ‘successfully’ dropped its executables into the intended system, AntiMalware searches for antivirus tools installed in order to try and get rid of them – so that nothing will threaten its dirty plan to completely invade your PC. AntiMalware also configures the challenged OS to run its unregistered version each time you boot into Windows (this can be checked through ‘msconfig’ option). Therefore, every computer session will start and be accompanied by AntiMalware running its pseudo scanners and displaying loads of fake ads denoting the purported exposure of virus threats, trojans, rootkits and worms. Please do not believe AntiMalware alerts and scan results as they all aim to brainwash you into buying this rogue software. Instead, take prompt and ruthless action against AntiMalware on your computer by removing it once and forall. The info below will guide you all the way through AntiMalware uninstall procedure.
