antimalware-300x227AntiMalware is an extremely dangerous malware. It can disable your existing antivirus programs to avoid being detected. Once it takes over, it then tricks you into believing your system’s infected with other viruses. If you fall for this trap, you can end up purchasing an antivirus program that doesn’t perform anything beneficial.

Among its symptoms are irritating popups and notifications from the task bar that typically warn you of the presence of rogue programs in your system (aside from itself). When you try to conduct a search on the so-called rogue programs, you’ll find them alright. That’s because AntiMalware creates files to substantiate its claims.

In fact, you’ll even find them in Windows system folders to make it appear that the threat is really serious. However, these files are actually harmless.

The AntiMalware-generated notifications then add that the only way to remove the alleged threats is by purchasing its full version. The “full version” is actually more of a “fool version” because it doesn’t do anything useful at all, except remove the harmless files.

What you really need to remove from your system is the AntiMalware program. This wicked program can slow your system down and hijack it starting from boot up.

Symptoms Of Infection

  • Your computer is acting slow. AntiMalware slow down your system significantly. This includes starting up, shutting down, playing games, and surfing the web.
  • You are getting pestered with pop ups. AntiMalware infects your registry and uses it to launch annoying pop up ads out of nowhere.
  • Searches are redirected or your homepage and desktop are settings are changed. This is a symptom of a very serious AntiMalware infection.

Dangers Of Infection

warning Viruses like AntiMalware will infect your registry and other important system files. If the infection is not treated it can cause a complete collapse of your system.

warning

Some AntiMalware infections contain spyware and keyloggers which can be used to record sensitive data like passwords, credit card, bank account, and social security numbers. The longer you allow the infection to fester, the greater the chance of identity fraud.
