Personal AntivirusPersonal Antivirus aka Personal AV is one of the most popular computer viral infections on the net today. The virus slips onto your system through a trojan and wreaks havoc on your CPU. The program can also be very difficult to remove and renders “system restore” useless. Personal Antivirus will attempt to use a fake scan to get you to purchase the full program. I recommend getting rid of it quickly because some variants of the virus have been known to cause identity fraud.

Symptoms Of Infection

  • Your computer is acting slow. Personal Antivirus slow down your system significantly. This includes starting up, shutting down, playing games, and surfing the web.
  • You are getting pestered with pop ups. Personal Antivirus 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 Personal Antivirus infection.

Dangers Of Infection

warning Viruses like Personal Antivirus 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 Personal Antivirus 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.
