Advanced Antivirus is installed by Zlob trojan. It pretends to be spyware and malware remover, but it’s not capable of detecting or removing computer parasites. AdvancedAntivirus (a.k.a Advanced Antivirus 2008) is a scam. It loads large numbers of pop-ups offering paid version of Advanced Antivirus for deleting infections. Unfortunately, neither infections nor full version of AdvancedAntivirus exist.
