AnVi rogue AV uninstalls Norton 2010 (and others)

Postby ycantiregister » Sat Aug 21, 2010 12:46 am

A new rogue, Anvi AntiVirus (a derivative of the CoreGuard rogue) will advise users that their AV is "uncertified". Click OK, CANCEL or the CLOSE button all produce the same action - uninstallation of NIS2010 and installation of AnVi.

Also affected are AVG, Microsoft, Spyware Doctor and Zone Labs.

Just password your settings, this way it will not disable self-protection...if it has one.
A fool with an antivirus tool is still a fool.
If you can't convince them, confuse them.
The last thing I want to do is insult you. But it IS on the list.
