win7-avOne of the dangers of surfing the Web is that sometimes we pick up things that we would rather not have on our computer. Trojans and malware are everywhere and if you’re not careful you might soon be the next victim of these malicious programs. One of the currently more infamous ones, is the Win7 AV. The name makes it sound legitimate but it is anything but. Win7 AV is a good example of fake anti-spyware; a program that pretends that it’s there to help you, but actually is the source of the problem.

What happens is a trojan manages to enter your computer in some way. After a while, you will start to get fake malware warning pages on your browser while you’re surfing the Internet. These messages often say that your computer is being attacked and that you need to get yourself upgraded immediately. Of course, normal users assume that this is a legitimate warning – after all, the warning looks pretty official, and people have a tendency to follow authority when they’re in trouble. This upgrade is, of course, the main Win7 AV program itself.

This program actually looks legitimate, with a fake Windows 7 style that gives it that authentic look. However, it is malware and it will mess around with your system and conduct false malware scans and then promoting malware that you have to download into your computer to ‘clean’ it. You’ll have to get rid of it. Thankfully, there’s an easy way to do it. Read on to find out more.
