Antivirus Plus
Antivirus Plus Description
Antivirus Plus is a fake anti-spyware application that is often voluntary downloaded from malicious websites by unsuspecting users. Antivirus Plus can also be unknowingly downloaded with video codecs or freeware. Trojans also distribute Antivirus Plus by exploiting system vulnerabilities or attaching themselves to unsolicited e-mails. Once the Trojan is inside a system it will modify the hosts file and may direct users to security.microsoft.com.
Antivirus Plus will also create a start-up registry and run a fake system scan which will produce fabricated results claiming that the system is infected with several parasites. Following the scan report, users will be advised to pay for the “full version” of Antivirus Plus in order to remove all the detected parasites. All parasite detections made by Antivirus Plus are fake; Antivirus Plus is not a legitimate security tool.
