AV8
AV8 or AV 8 is a bogus anti-virus application that spreads via Trojans. AV8 is a clone of the rogueware called Antivirus 8 and uses the same scare tactics to coerce users into paying for its non-existent full version. Do not believe the security alerts and scan reports displayed by AV8. Instead have AV8 removed from your PC with a legitimate security tool as soon as possible.
