Contraviro is a rogue anti-spyware application originating from the Contra family. Through insecure online downloads or security exploits on a computer, Contraviro installs itself onto a system and begins bombarding the computer with numerous frustrating pop-up advertisements and false security alerts, stating that the system is infected. Fake system scans depict the same outcame. All of these so-called threats, however, are in fact legitimate programs that once deleted, will cause serious damage for the Windows system. These scare tactics are employed in order to intimidate the user into purchasing the full version of Contraviro.
