AntivirusMaster is a new rogue anti-spyware program and a clone of Antivirus 2008 along with quite a few others. This parasite is a fake spyware remover, which uses trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo, to enter the system.

AntivirusMaster uses misleading popups and fake system notifications to convince the user he is infected and therefore in need of an anti-spyware program. Not just any program either, but AntivirusMaster.

This program is no more than a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it's homepage using your HOSTS file.
