AntiVirus BEST Description:

AntiVirus BEST (alias AntiVirusBEST) is not a program whose true essence can be concluded directly from its denomination. Actually, AntiVirus BEST is a rogue anti-spyware product emanating from the same group as Antivirus 1 (aka Anti-Virus Number-1 or Anti-Virus-1). AntiVirus BEST installs through trojans or browser-hijacking tactics that pre-suppose redirecting one’s web surfing to Antivirus-best.info or Best-protect.info websites which tell people that AntiVirus BEST is a cutting-edge spyware remover that helps you “fight all kinds of spyware and adware including keyloggers, trojan horses, password thieves and on”. The truth is – AntiVirus BEST does nothing of that kind, it merely pretends to. When AntiVirus BEST installs on a targeted computer, it creates a number of new system files and registry entries thus paralysing normal PC functioning. AntiVirus BEST displays tons of bogus ads that claim your privacy is at risk because loads of dangerous applications are allegedly on your PC threatening your cyber routine. AntiVirus BEST may as well trigger its phoney scanners that report more malware, while the PC is infection-free (but for AntiVirus BEST itself, of course). Then, AntiVirus BEST comes to a stage of making the victim install its commercial version after buying the license. It’s advised to keep yourself from doing a thing as unreasonable as wasting your money on AntiVirus BEST full version which will surely prove to be a worthless purchase. Instead, you’d better remove AntiVirus BEST immediately after it gets detected.
