AVASoft Antivirus Professional Image
AVASoft Antivirus Professional is a fake security application and another member of the WinWeb Security family. Typically, AVASoft Antivirus Professional will be installed on a computer without the computer user's authorization, through illegal methods typically used to distribute malware. AVASoft Antivirus Professional is part of a scam that involves using fake anti-virus software to convince computer users to pay for expensive upgrades in order to remove nonexistent malware threats on their computer. If AVASoft Antivirus Professional is installed on your computer, it is important to remove AVASoft Antivirus Professional immediately with the help of a reliable anti-malware application.
Removing AVASoft Antivirus Professional can be difficult because this fake anti-virus program has several components that AVASoft Antivirus Professional uses to defend itself. For example, AVASoft Antivirus Professional can block computer users from running certain applications or opening certain files. This means that most computer users dealing with an AVASoft Antivirus Professional infection will not be able to access their web browser, security software or Windows components like the Task Manager and System Restore. When the computer user tries to open any of these components, AVASoft Antivirus Professional will display a message claiming that the file is infected and then claim that it has been blocked for the computer user's own protection.
AVASoft Antivirus Professional is designed to start up automatically as soon as the victim logs into Windows. AVASoft Antivirus Professional then runs a bogus system scan. The fake scan will always have negative results, indicating that the victim's computer is infested with extremely dangerous viruses, Trojans and worms. Despite the fact that AVASoft Antivirus Professional looks like an anti-virus program, using AVASoft Antivirus Professional to remove these supposed threats results in supplementary error messages alleging that the user must upgrade AVASoft Antivirus Professional to an expensive 'full version.' Of course, since AVASoft Antivirus Professional has no way of detecting or removing malware, ESG malware researchers advise computer users to avoid following AVASoft Antivirus Professional's instructions and to, instead, remove this threat with a real anti-virus application. To prevent future AVASoft Antivirus Professional infections, ESG security researchers advise computer users to avoid opening email attachments from unknown sources or that seems suspicious, avoid clicking on unknown links and to never download files without being absolutely sure of their source and contents.
