Antivirko.com

Steer clear of Antivirko.com, if you can avoid it. Antivirko.com is the name of a malicious website that promotes the rogue anti-virus application AntiVira Av, and it is also the name of the hijacker that redirects there. If you find yourself involuntarily directed to Antivirko.com when you try to look at other websites, then your system is infected with spyware. Obviously, Antivirko.com can't be trusted.

The Browser Hijacking and AntiVira Av

If your computer is infected with the threat referred to as Antivirko.com, then you have a hijacker that is causing your browser to redirect to Antivirko.com. Antivirko.com's very likely the only website you can see. The Antivirko.com hijacker can also cause advertising and alerts to pop-up. The advertising may promote things that look completely unrelated, and the alerts will claim that your system has some kind of threat that needs to be removed. By redirecting your browser to Antivirko.com, the crooks behind the AntiVira Av scam hope to convince you that Antivirko.com is the website for a real anti-virus application – which Antivirko.com isn't.

You may also find yourself at Antivirko.com if you have AntiVira Av infecting your computer. AntiVira Av poses as security software, with Antivirko.com as its payment page, which AntiVira AV will direct you to after AntiVira AV tries to scare you into thinking your computer's security is in jeopardy without a "licensed" version of AntiVira Av. Payment pages like Antivirko.com are at the heart of the AntiVira Av scam, because the goal of AntiVira AV is to get you to pay for the malware, and then the con-artists behind the whole thing take the money and run. AntiVira Av is not real anti-virus software, and AntiVira AV is incapable of performing any beneficial functions, no matter what.

Antivirko.com and Its History

No matter what Antivirko.com may say, it is not a legitimate site, and AntiVira Av is not legitimate software. Antivirko.com is identical to the other known payment sites and hijackers that support AntiVira Av. At present, some of the other sites are Shopllbo.com, Twofsoft.net, and Shoprdig.com, although the number of supporting malicious sites for AntiVira Av seems to be growing constantly. These sites contain the same lame slogan, "Standing sentinel on the safeguard of your PC," as well as a bunch of faked information about the AntiVira Av company history and address, among other things. Antivirko.com has the bare minimum to look somewhat like a real website, but don't let it fool you. Antivirko.com is bad news.
