AV Security Essentials Rogue Anti-Virus App Targets Unsuspecting PC Users

Feb. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- A new removal report has been released uncovering the AV Security Essentials program as a fake security application for the PC. AV Security Essentials was found to utilize the “Security Essentials” name to confuse computer users so some may think that AV Security Essentials is their ultimate solution to fixing security related issues on their PC.

AV Security Essentials was primarily developed by cyber crooks who want to earn a pay day at the expense of gullible computer users. The whole process takes place starting with the installation of AV Security Essentials. Usually AV Security Essentials is installed through a Trojan horse or from a malicious download on a hijacked website. Either way, once AV Security Essentials is installed on a system it tends to bombard a user with all types of misleading notifications to entice them to purchase AV Security Essentials.

By purchasing AV Security Essentials, it will not enable it to remove and detect legitimate malware on a system. Instead, a registered version of AV Security Essentials is just like the free one. Neither is able to actually remove malware. Many other programs are known to perform these same tactics, which is how modern-day hackers are able to extort money from unsuspecting computer users.

AV Security Essentials has an interesting looking interface. Many of the menu options on AV Security Essentials all look rather convincing. This is in addition to the alert notifications that pop-up on ones screen from the AV Security Essentials program. Fortunately, the newly released AV Security Essentials removal report at EnigmaSoftware.com is able to assist computer users with removing AV Security Essentials from their PC.

Because AV Security Essentials does not provide any user with a viable means of un-installing the AV Security Essentials program, it is virtually impossible to remove without the help of a trusted antimalware tool. Within the AV Security Essentials removal report, computer users of all types, novice and advanced, are able to seek resources that have been proven to remove AV Security Essentials from a PC.

Computer users are able to access these resources to successfully remove AV Security Essentials from their PC at the newly released removal report at: http://www.enigmasoftware.com/avsecurityessentials-removal/
