Like most rogue anti-virus programs, Fast Windows Antivirus 2011 operated by convincing its victim that the computer system has become infected with malware and that it is necessary to purchase Fast Windows Antivirus 2011, in order to fix these imaginary problems. According to ESG PC security researchers, Fast Windows Antivirus 2011 is not designed to eliminate viruses or to protect your computer from malware. Fast Windows Antivirus 2011 has two basic functions: to display a barrage of alarming error messages and to cause a number of deliberate problems on the infected computer system.

Fast Windows Antivirus 2011 is a malware infection itself which should be removed immediately.
