Description
of “TrustedAntiVirus, et al” and consequences of them residing on your PC...
TrustedAntiVirus
(among many, many other similar products)
is a fake antispyware program developed by Russian Hackers. It penetrates into
your computer with a Trojan. In addition, some web-sites are infected with
this malware, thus, in case you have weak PC protection or low level of
security preferences, the chance to get this product installed in your
PC is truly considerable even if you just browse the Internet abstaining
from any free content downloading. So, the system of TrustedAntiVirus
entering into your Hard Drive is quite possible for malignant products of Russian
developers.
The consequences
of TrustedAntiVirus activity are very obvious and seem to be very
rustic, but what would you do if pop-ups and alerts and reminders go and
go and the PC buzzes hundreds times a day? It means right after
installation, TrustedAntiVirus acts as a real kind of annoyanceware;
this is the main effect it makes.

Signs of
being infected with TrustedAntiVirus
TrustedAntiVirus core program tactic consists in
immediate and very hard pop-ups and following alerts and reminders
attack, i.e. right after installation this malware starts to annoy you
very constantly. The signs of TrustedAntiVirus presence are absolutely
obvious. You may follow the adverts of this parasite or destroy it. Even
though you have purchased and installed TrustedAntiVirus full version,
the danger has not gone as some elements of this parasite are
responsible for performing spying and even key-logging operations. This
may really make you regret that you trusted the “Trusted” Antivirus.
First of all, after TrustedAntiVirus penetrated into your PC you may see
the pop-up stating that there are number of dangerous programs found,
and you need a scan and we are the ones who came to you with grace to
grant a salvation… We have no evidences that another signs like decrease
of PC speed etc. have ever appeared before these frequent and annoying
alerts. All possible measures should be taken to throw this garbage away
from your PC right after detection. My Client this week accidently
clicked on a BCAA link and ended up at a porn site. The computer had to
be completely re-formatted and Windows re-installed. Below are actual
Screen Shots from a computer I fixed this week...
