Remove Antivirus VIP. Removal instructions
Antivirus VIP is promoted as a security program, but it only brings troubles. It is installed via trojans that come through spam emails or illegitimate downloads. Antivirus VIP is promoted on several websites, but antivirusvip.com in the main source of this fraud. Websites that distribute AntivirusVIP are malicious; they are able to automatically install Antivirus V.I.P. once user visits one of them. Avoid websites that advertise Antivirus VIP and better yet block antivirusvip.com and others using HOSTS file.
Antivirus VIP may present itself as AntivirusVIP or Antivirus V.I.P.; all these names hide the same software and none of them should be trusted. The main goal of this fraud is making people purchase full version of AntivirusV.I.P.; unfortunately the ‘full version’ is just a mirage. This malware works really hard to convince people that they need a new anti-virus. Antivirus VIP imitates system scan and reports various infections that supposedly can be removed with Antivirus VIP and Antivirus VIP only. It loads the fake scanner all the time and it makes using a computer impossible. It also limits internet speed and computer performance.
