Remove Sysinternals Antivirus
Updated on Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Sysinternals Antivirus might sound like a very legitimate application. That’s quite true as Microsoft owns the Sysinternals brand and it is actually a site that provides tools for administering and monitoring Windows computers. Among other things, they also have a few anti-malware tools available though none of them are named Sysinternals Antivirus.

So while you think you can trust this rogue anti-spyware app, don’t! Like many others, it will merely offer up scans of fake viruses that won’t harm your computer at the least. It does this so it can extort you for money by saying that it can remove these malware in exchange for an ‘upgrade’ to the software. Don’t send your money to them!

It’s better to just remove this bad piece of software and get a true antivirus application instead. One of the reasons why you need to remove this is that it introduces security holes in your computer, making you vulnerable to actual malware. They can then steal your information, credit card details and any other data in your system that can be useful to them.

You can remove this program easily and painlessly though. Just follow our instructions below to be in the clear of this nasty infection.
