Malware creators Innovagest 2000 have just presented new scam named Antivirus Sentry. It’s actually difficult to call this fraud a new one because it is an identical twin of another malware – MSAntivirus2008. All the programs released by Innovagest 2000 shouldn’t be trusted, yet it might appear legitimate for someone that encounters this company for the first time.

The purpose of AntivirusSentry is to gain money from gullible people. The software requires paying either $119.95 or $49.95 or $34.95 for using fully functional anti-virus. Unfortunately, the full version doesn’t exist. Antivirus Sentry is usually installed secretly. Basically, creators of Antivirus Sentry take your money for nonexistent services of program that you never asked for.

Antivirus Sentry works hard to push people into purchasing the program. It loads plenty of annoying pop-ups that redirect to antivirussentry.com if clicked upon. Antivirus Sentry may also hijack web browser and again lead people into visiting the same website. AntivirusSentry is able to imitate system scan and make the pop-ups appear as infection alerts. Do not trust pop-ups loaded by Antivirus Sentry! Each and every of them is falsified. AntivirusSentry may also make a computer freeze.
