Type: Malware	Severity scale: (80 / 100)

Ultimate Antivirus 2008 is a rogue anti-spyware program and the most recent clone of Antivirus 2008. This corrupt anti-spyware uses trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo, to enter the system. The trojans are typically found in porn/warez websites, disguised as video codecs. Ultimate Antivirus 2008 uses popups and fake system notifications to intimidate the user and to persuade him to buy it's "licensed version".

Ultimate Antivirus 2008 doesn't use a legitimate payment system and there doesn't appear to be any company behind it. Contact details are nowhere to be found. But there are several malicious websites promoting Ultimate Antivirus. Uav2008.com, startedwebsite.com/security/xp/ and startpagepreview.com/security/xp/ are just a few of them.

Ultimate Antivirus 2008 is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block websites related to this malware using your HOSTS file.
