Windows No-Risk Agent Image
According to ESG security analysts, Windows No-Risk Agent is one of numerous clones of the members of the FakeVimes family of rogue security programs. Windows No-Risk Agent is part of a group of malware in this family of bogus security applications released in 2012 and, unlike versions of FakeVimes malware from previous years, tends to include a rootkit component in its attack. Like other iterations of this fake security program family, Windows No-Risk Agent tends to create files with a short 3-letter string made up of random characters in their names. In the case of Windows No-Risk Agent, file names are preceded with the string 'inspector-'.
Clones of Windows No-Risk Agent include Virus Melt, Presto TuneUp, Fast Antivirus 2009, Extra Antivirus, Windows Security Suite, Smart Virus Eliminator, Packed.Generic.245, Volcano Security Suite, Windows Enterprise Suite, Enterprise Suite, Additional Guard, PC Live Guard, Live PC Care, Live Enterprise Suite, Security Antivirus, My Security Wall, CleanUp Antivirus, Smart Security, Windows Protection Suite, Windows Work Catalyst.
Windows No-Risk Agent is an element of a highly used online scam that involves trying to convince computer users to waste their money buying useless fake security software. If you find that Windows No-Risk Agent is installed on your computer system, beware; this is a sure sign that your computer system has fallen victim to a dangerous malware attack. ESG security analysts recommend treating a Windows No-Risk Agent infection with a reliable anti-malware program with anti-rootkit technology.

How Criminals Use Windows No-Risk Agent to Steal Their Victims’ Money
The Windows No-Risk Agent scam is not too complicated. At its core, the Windows No-Risk Agent scam is an updated version of a common scam used by con men for generations. Like a dishonest mechanic that reports fake problems on his victims' cars in order to profit from providing fake cures, Windows No-Risk Agent profits by making computer users think that their PCs are dangerously infected with malware. Then, Windows No-Risk Agent offers to fix these problems, for a fee. This is because any attempt to use Windows No-Risk Agent's supposed anti-virus features only results in being directed to Windows No-Risk Agent's website, where criminals peddle a useless 'full version' of Windows No-Risk Agent in order to fix imaginary problems on the victim's computer. Make no mistake about it, the real problem on the infected computer will most likely be Windows No-Risk Agent itself – at the very least, Windows No-Risk Agent will be a big part of anything going wrong with the victim's computer. This is because Windows No-Risk Agent is designed to spam the victim with constant error messages and deliberately make the victim's computer become unstable, slow and prone to frequent crashes.
