Vista Antivirus 2008 - Rogue

Tom Fergunsan called me and asked for an appointment ASAP. He said he was being inundated with popups saying that he had no Antivirus (he did, AVG Antivirus 8.0) and that he needed to purchase Vista Antivirus 2008. Obviously, this is Rogue Antivirus (fake Antivirus) designed to coerce users into paying for it and then stealing their identity (names and credit card numbers).

Vista Antivirus 2008 is fake! Do not purchase it. If you did purchase this don’t bother asking for a refund, you’re better off canceling that credit card number.

You can remove Vista Antivirus 2008 with a couple of free applications (via on-demand scans):

  1. MalwareBytes Anti-Malware 1.20 manual scan removes Vista Antivirus 2008
  2. SuperAntiSpyware manual scan removes Vista Antivirus 2008
  3. Spyware Doctor with Antivirus automatically removes Vista Antivirus 2008
