Antivir64 or Antivir 64, is a rogue anti-spyware program and clone of Power Antivirus 2009 and Antispyware2008. Antivir64 may have been installed by a Trojan (Zlob, Vundo or Downloader) found on fake video codec downloads. Once the Trojan is installed, it may generate imaginary system notifications stating that the user’s computer is infected with spyware. In order to remove the imaginary infections, Antivir64 will offer Antivir64’s full version of the program. Antivir64’s rogue messages may redirect the user to Antivir64’s website (scanner.antivir64.com) to further download the full Antivir64 program. Antivir64 may also use its fake system scan to emulate a computer system scan and generate erroneous scan results.
