Antivirus IS

Threat Scorecard

Threat Level: 100 % (High)
Infected Computers: 2,609
First Seen: September 22, 2010
OS(es) Affected: Windows

Antivirus IS is a rogue anti-virus program which imitates a system scan once executed. Antivirus IS comes from same rogueware family as Security Suite and Antivirus Soft. The rogue is distributed by Trojans that can surreptitiously enter computer systems and run in the background. When inside a system, Antivirus IS will display fake system scans, security alerts and pop-up warnings all claiming that the system is infected with dangerous malware.

The scans may list legitimate system files as infected in order to trick a victim into deleting important security services. Different types of Trojans, viruses and worms will also be listed on the fake scan report in order to scare a victim into action. Then Antivirus IS will prompt the victim to purchase its non-existent full version in order to remove the purportedly detected malware. Another scare tactic used by Antivirus IS, involves blocking a victim's access to programs such as Task Manager and Registry Editor as well as hijacking the internet browser to redirect a victim to malicious websites. This is a common scam that users should not fall for.

I have done the things I was requested to do, but I am being block by this antivirus and it will not allow the computer to run the downlosd. Can you help me with this problem?

Easiest way to remove Antivirus IS? I think I found it.

Reboot computer and keep pressing F8. When you are given the option, choose to start Windows in "Safe Mode".

When Windows has started up, click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Tools -> System Restore

Choose a restore date sufficiently old so that it is prior to the Antivirus IS infection. I would say a couple of weeks should be enough.

Restore system and problem should be gone. At least it was for me.

Much easier than having to download all kinds of anti-malware software and messing with registries. If it works for you, you can send thanks to jaycal33 (at) yaboo (dot) com. It's not really yahoo, but you know what I mean.

Extremely helpful article, plseae write more.
