The scammers behind Antivirus360remover realized that creating rogue applications does not take that much ingenuity. All it takes to develop most rogue applications is a little knowledge in marketing and the ability to copy one of the over four hundred other bogus programs out there.
Anyone that has experience with parasitic programs will tell you that Antivirus360remover is one of the worst attempts at creating a rogue application. It is like the developers were a couple of junior high school students that thought they could make money writing annoying code. The only thing they did right was to tie it in with the juggernaut of all rogue program families.
The MS Antivirus family is probably one of the largest groups of rogue applications around. Out of thirty know variants, Antivirus 360 is but one of them. This family of rogue applications is so pervasive that they even have their own Wikipedia page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Antivirus.
There are two ways that someone can get infected with Antivirus360remover, trojans or human error. Typically people get their computers infected with trojans and as with most rogue programs, Antivirus360remover can infect computers with the help of trojans. But, the scammers behind Antivirus360remover hoped that because their name is a combination of one of the worst rogues out there and the word “remover,” that people will get duped into installing their bogus program by accident.
It is sad that some of the techniques used to spread rogue programs work, but there is a way to put an end to fighting these programs in the future. It used to be that computer users only had to have a virus protection program installed, unfortunately times change and now it is all too important to have some type of malware remover and protection program installed also.
It takes the average person two to three days to manually remove malware on their computers and get their machines working like they did before they got infected. Why waste all that time and effort fighting something that you can get guaranteed protection against?
If you are fed up with fighting malware on your computer and the hours of wasted time removing this type of junk, than it is time to install an anti-malware program that has a 100% guarantee. Only a malware protection program that offers a 100% guarantee is worth installing on your machine, and with a bit of research you should not have any trouble finding one.
