Malware Analysis:

Antivirus Scan (or AntivirusScan) is a counterfeit security client that misleads computer users and tries to make them waste their money. It admittedly reports malicious things that are not there just to take advantage of people. Antivirus Scan repeats the noisome habits of its predecessors generally known as Antivirus Action and Antivirus IS. Actually, there aren’t many updates in this new badware product except only that it’s called differently. Antivirus Scan makes certain changes to the way your computer functions and perceives different commands. It seriously modifies your system from the inside, dropping bad files and creating new Registry keys. Though you may fail to see these changes with an unaided eye, you will definitely get to encounter Antivirus Scan’s activity on the outside. The malware will keep disturbing you with the numerous popup notifications and scanners that try to appeal to you with their evidently false information. For example, you may receive alerts about the supposed presence of such infection as Nuqel.E trojan. Of course, this threat is not inside your PC in fact. This information is deceptive. Not to mention the scanners displayed by this rogueware reporting yet more infections. However, this way Antivirus Scan only attempts to scare you and then scam you out of some money in return for making sure the ‘intercepted’ parasites are removed in a blink of an eye. Do not trust Antivirus Scan as it is rogue AV software that only mimics the true malware combating activity.
