Contraviro Description:

Contraviro is not one of the trustworthy programs because it uses illicit tactics to propagate and get people paying for its license. Contraviro hails from the same family of fake anti-spyware programs as UnVirex and inherits most of its characteristic traits. For example, the methods of hidden installation onto a host node are common – they presuppose the use of Trojans that sneak inside though firewall flaws and other security vulnerabilities of the challenged system. Upon infiltration, Contraviro makes the system launch its unregistered trialware each time the PC starts, which basically means you will keep getting more and more of its scanners and phony alerts about malware detections on your PC. Indeed, Contraviro pretends to scan the compromised computer and then produces fake detection reports that list a variety of threats that are nor removable unless you register Contraviro full commercial version. It’s important to realize that Contraviro never detects any actual malware simply because it’s not a real security product. Therefore, it’s totally unacceptable to follow the recommendations prompted via Contraviro alerts that pop up to tell you how much you need its full version. Do not let the scammers who developed Contraviro trick you into wasting your dough. What you should really do is exterminate Contraviro to the last one of its files and registry entries ASAP if it strikes your system.
