AntivirusForAll Removal Guide
Do you know what AntivirusForAll is?
DESCRIPTION
AntivirusForAll is a rogue anti-spyware program known to be a clone of other fake anti-spyware applications such as AntivirusPCSuite and WinSecureAV. Out first hand experience with AntivirusForAll reveals that when it is installed it will perform a system scan displaying results that cannot be confirmed as being honest. If AntivirusForAll scans our system the results that it shows are totally bogus.
AntivirusForAll uses the fake scans and bogus messages to scare computer users into purchasing the AntivirusForAll program. The name AntivirusForAll should be TricksForAll because all this program does is trick people. AntivirusForAll does not remove any spyware or viruses from your computer. It is a complete waste of time and money.
In non-techie terms: AntivirusForAll is nothing more than a fake program that attempts to extort money from. Like many other rogue anti-spyware programs, AntivirusForAll has it’s own website, AntivirusForAll.com. You should not visit this website because it is designed to promote and sell the AntivirusForAll program which we know for a fact is fake and malicious.
Aliases: AntivirusForAll, Antivirus For All, AntivirusForAll.com
