Severity scale:

(93 / 100)

Antivirus 7 (also called as Antivirus7) is a totally misleading anti-spyware software that just like many rogue applications seeks to convince users that they really need to purchase its commercial version. Every time Antivirus7 infects computers, it announces hundreds of cyber threats detected though in fact this application has nothing to do with PCs security. Keep in mind that Antivirus 7 has no spywares’ detection or removal engine, so don’t fall into it and remove if the program is spotted on your machine.

Antivirus 7 is mostly propagated through fabricated online scanners and trojans viruses that hide in video codecs foolishly required for watching videos online. When the malware is installed, it starts using malicious techniques trying to convince users that they really need to purchase it. Antivirus 7 classically loads deceptive pop up ads telling users about cyber threats they have and additionally redirects them to the websites actively promoting malware as well. Redirections are the cause of the browser hijacking technique which is also used by Antivirus7.

Once on board, the trial version of Antivirus 7 will run permanently while people browse the Web. Victims will be annoyed to death with these bogus security alerts and system scanners reporting the same fake viruses "deteted" and pushed straight away into purchasing it. Instead of taking the sugesstion to buy this useless commercial version, remove Antivirus 7 immediately. Here are the examples:

Internet Shield: Identity theft attampt detected
56.12.121.12
Warning! Identity theft attempt detected
Please click "Prevent attack" button to heal all infected files and protect your PC

Security advisor: Important updates available
Attention! New important updates available
Always install latest updates to enhance your computer secutity and performance

Resident Shield: New virus detected
Warning! New virus detected
Please click "Remove All" button to heal all infected files and protect your PC

In truth, infections listed by Antivirus 7 are invented by the same scam or are even normal and important system files, so deleting them is absolutely wrong idea. Don’t pay for this rogue anti-spyware and get rid of Antivirus 7 and all its associated data. Scan your computer for Antivirus 7 as soon as you notice its misleading activity on your machine.
