Alpha Antivirus is a fake anti-spyware program that uses vague and unoriginal methods to get computer users to spend their money on the full version of Alpha Antivirus. Alpha Antivirus is similar to that of other rogues such as Personal Antivirus. Through Alpha Antivirus’s malicious tactics, a computer user will find their system bombarded with annoying popups and system scans that return fake results. Alpha Antivirus does not have the ability to detect or remove computer parasites therefore it is not a suggested application to use for security needs on a Windows PC.

   While on Facebook, a pop-up appeared which looked like a regular Mcrosoft update. I clicked on the X to eliminate it. Wrong! it immediately downloaded onto my computer. Now it blocks every attempt to remove it including my Norton and other Microsoft programs. My next step is to report this to the Attorney General’s Office.

   OK so how do you delete then? Do I have to buy deletion software now? I have 2 months left on my Webroot antivirus. I’ve swept it several times and it has never picked it up…..but it’s there.
