      Another fake Antivirus software

      Beware of a program called Antivirus Soft, sometimes known as Antivirus Soft Demo.

      You may have fallen for Antivirus scams before. Software such as Antivirus System Pro and Antivirus Live.

      Such programs basically do obnoxious and exaggerated displays that, while ridiculously exaggerated. I mean, it will have you believe that hackers are attacking your computer every five seconds, viruses with sinister names such as "bankerfox.a" are swarming your computer like flies, and they block any attempts to open programs such as windows explorere or task manager, with the excuse that it's infected.

      Guide to remove it is here.

      I'm sorry, but I like my computer runing smoothly. The heads up is nice.

      Thanks, Noogah, I'll keep an eye out for that one.

      By far, Mothra (in all of it's forms) is the worst kaiju of all time.

      My bro was stupid enough to get one of those. He still hasn't gotten rid of it. It's an older one..the one about the environment.

      The real problem with these kinds of things is usually as soon as it initiates the scam attempt it's already too late to stop it.
