Severity scale:

(70 / 100)

AntivirusProtection is typical rogue security program. It uses misleading advertising techniques to gain user’s trust and push him into purchasing a license of this application. Antivirus Protection appeals to people who care about computer security.

AntivirusProtection loads pop-ups all over a screen and reports plenty of infections supposedly detected on the compromised machine. All the security related pop-ups are falsified to make an impression that a computer is badly infected. Some of the warnings loaded by Antivirus Protection may be pretty convincing; it displays scan results, imitates computer scan and loads system tray alerts that are similar to legitimate notifications. AntivirusProtection offers removing supposedly found threats after user pays for a license. That is the trick of AntivirusProtection: user never receives functional anti-virus. Antivirus Protection is a scam.
