If you have ever downloaded an email attachment (including a jpg or pdf file) or downloaded free software or songs off of the internet, you could be at risk for having totalantivirus installed on your computer. Interestingly enough, it doesn’t take much unusual behavior to get a Trojan downloaded onto your computer through any of these downloads. As soon as that trojan is on your computer it can easily download malicious software such as totalantivirus onto your computer without your consent. In addition to the trojan you may have also manually downloaded it by clicking on a popup advertisement that redirects you to a site where the program can be downloaded.
When totalantivirus is installed on your computer you will go through many phases. First, a trial version will be downloaded onto our computer and then it will run a fake scan on your computer. Then, you will be sent numerous notifications and popups that warn you your computer is infected and it is highly recommended that you download the full version of totalantivirus. You will be directed to their website where you will have to pay a fee for a useless product. If you do make the mistake of paying for the software and downloading it, you’re in for an interesting ride! Totalantivirus will sit in the background of your computer and monitor your every move. It will capture your credit card information, username, password and anything else you enter into a website. Once this data is captured, there is no telling what can happen to it. Generally hackers buy this information from totalantivirus and then use this information to steal your identity among other things.
If totalantivirus is on your computer, there’s a good chance you will know it. First the many popups and notifications will slow your computer down tremendously. A lot of system resources are taken up in order to trigger those notifications, which causes the computer slowdown. Then, you may notice that while browsing the internet all of the ads that show up are directly related to recent searches you may have done. This is because totalantivirus captures your search history and feeds that information to hackers also, which update the advertisements you see to match your searches. Another change you may see is that your computer system settings have changed. This includes a change in your homepage, or new icons that show up on your desktop. In some cases you may hear music from your computer randomly. TotalAntivirus will update the settings on your computer to as part of the recent install.
Any of these things sound familiar? If you think that totalantivirus is installed on your computer it’s very important that you remove it immediately. The longer the program stays on your computer the more harm that can happen and the more at risk you are. The best option is to do some research and find a trusted antispyware program that can remove it from your computer safely. This type of program can ensure it is completely removed without missing any important files.
