Remove Anti-Virus-1. Description and removal instructions

Title: Anti-Virus-1	Also known as: Anti Virus 1, AntiVirus 1
Type: Spyware	Severity scale: (64 / 100)

Anti-Virus-1 is a new rogue anti-spyware application. This parasite is very similar to Antivirus 2010. These two fake programs are even advertised through the same fake online scanner. The main purpose of Anti Virus 1 is to frighten users and trick money from them. That's why it is important to remove Anti-Virus-1 upon detection.

Anti-Virus-1 infiltrates the system with a help of Trojans, mostly Zlob or Vundo. Once installed, AntiVirus 1 configures operating system to run this rogue before any other programs. After that, it performs fake system scan and floods system with pop-up windows and similar alert notices about system infections, errors and other threats. Of course, those fake infections have no relation to real threats. It's just a way how to effect the user. Scammers then suggest to use Anti-Virus-1 as reliable spyware remover. User is advertised to purchase license of this worthless application. But actually there is no such a thing like full version of Anti-Virus-1. We strongly recommend to remove Anti-Virus-1 from the system as soon as possible after infection.
