There is one very dangerous rogue which has just recently become a huge threat to computer users everywhere. This rogue goes by the name of Antivirus 8 and is guaranteed to cause you many computer problems.

The problems that one may experience, should your computer system becomes infected with Antivirus 8, are annoying false computer security warnings which will alert you to threats that you have on your computer system that do not even exist. The only real threat is the malicious Antivirus 8 program itself which needs to be removed upon immediate detection.

Antivirus 8 is dangerous and is only going to result in many negative consequences for both your bank balance and your computer system. It is therefore essential that you remove Antivirus 8 immediately upon detection, because if left your computer system will decrease in performance.

What this infection does:

When Antivirus8 is installed it will be configured to start automatically when Windows starts. Once started it will perform a scan on your computer and when finished it will state that your computer is infected with a variety of Malware. If you attempt to use the program to remove any of the Malware it finds,  it will state that you first need to purchase the Antivirus 8 program before it will remove anything. This is a complete scam as the scan results are all fake and many of the listed files are actually legitimate files and if removed could cause at the very worst, irreparable damage to your computers operating system. Therefore, do not manually remove any of the items it displays in its scan results.

While Antivirus 8 is running it will also display alerts and warnings that attempt to scare you into thinking your computer has a serious security problem. These alerts will state that personal information is being stolen, active Malware has been found, or that you are using unlicensed software.

Antivirus 8 will also attempt to protect itself by not allowing you to run various programs that may assist in removing it. When you attempt to run these types of programs, Antivirus 8 will terminate it and then state that the file is infected.

Without a doubt, Antivirus 8 was created for one reason; to scare you into thinking your computer has a security problem so that you will then purchase the program. It goes without saying that you should not purchase this program, and if you already have, please contact your credit card company to dispute the charge because the program is a scam and a computer infection.
