Is a program that goes by the name Paladin Antivirus scanning you computer and reporting malware infections? It’s a good thing you found your way into this site. Paladin Antivirus is not … I repeat … is not a legitimate antivirus. In fact, it’s a deceptive malware itself.
Paladin Antivirus will launch all by itself, conduct scans and generate various popups to make you believe your computer’s loaded with all sorts of malware. Its main objective is to trick you into buying its “full version”. Don’t be fooled into spending for a useless piece of software.
So should you just ignore the popups and scans that Paladin Antivirus generates? I don’t think that would be a good idea. This program will attack your system registry, so you can be sure it’s pretty capable of wreaking havoc. There have been reports of computers slowing down after being infected by this treacherous program.
You’ve got to remove Paladin Antivirus as soon as possible to avoid further damage on your system. Once you’ve followed the instructions below, I strongly advise you to avoid downloading freebies from the web. These are the main sources of trojans on which programs like Paladin Antivirus usually lay hidden.
