Threat Description:

Another alleged but fake security program in the wild is called CleanUp Antivirus, and it is definitely to be avoided if you care about due performance of your PC and your privacy intactness. CleanUp Antivirus refers to the same group of scam solutions as Additional Guard. It spreads via assistance of multiple counterfeit online scanners and contagious files downloadable from different Internet sources. CleanUp Antivirus typically follows the same path that was paved by its clone predecessors. It overpopulates the injected computer system with popup ads (system tray alerts mainly) and made-up virus scanners. CleanUp Antivirus will state that it located many unsafe entities on your PC such as trojan horses, viruses, spyware, worms etc. So as you figure, CleanUp Antivirus spares no effort to try and persuade you that your PC needs its professional antivirus treatment. CleanUp Antivirus is no remedy for your computer though. The only thing it can possibly do is persevering with its continued misleading ad-production technique. CleanUp Antivirus makes PCs slow, vulnerable and unable to perform its basic functions. To sum it up, CleanUp Antivirus is another must-exterminate application that doesn’t deserve to exist.
