Anti-Virus Number 1 Image

Anti-Virus Number 1 (also known as Antivirus Number-1) is another rogue anti-spyware application. Anti-Virus Number 1 utilizes fake advertisements and pretends to be a legitimate spyware remover, though typically this parasite is installed without your knowledge using Trojan viruses that display fake alert notifications.

Once installed, Anti-Virus Number 1 is configured so that it will automatically begin running when the operating system starts up. It is then that Anti-Virus Number 1 performs fake system scans and displays various imaginary infections and security problems.

Some examples of false security threat alerts are:

"Privacy Violation alert!

Anti-Virus Number 1 detected a Privacy Violation. A program is secretly sending your private data to an untrustworthy internet host. Click here to block this activity by removing the threat (Recommended)."

"Internal Conflict alert!

Anti-Virus Number 1 detected internal software conflict. Some application tried to obtain access to system kernel (such behavior is typical of Spyware/Malware). It may cause your system to crash."

Obviously, these kinds of security issues and infections are either greatly exaggerated or completely falsified in order to scare you into purchasing Anti-Virus Number 1, which would do absolutely nothing to help the problems your PC is facing. Remove this parasite immediately after initial appearances.ScreenshotScreenshotScreenshot
