Remove Antivirus IS - Quick And Easy

People continue to be lured into installing Antivirus IS, and learning the hard way that it is not an anti-malware program, but a virus. If you are one of the unfortunate many who made the mistake of loading it onto your PC, you need to remove Antivirus IS as soon as possible.

1. A lot of obscure websites actually have browser hijackers embedded. Browser hijackers take over your browser and spam you with fake warnings, or direct you to sites where you can be infected. Stay away from obscure websites unless a reliable person has told you about these sites
2. Adobe software plug-ins can also be quite vulnerable to attack. You need to avoid using them if you can, but if you must use them, make sure you have real time virus protection.
3. Don't install, let alone use P2P software like Limewire or uTorrent, especially if the application uses a CODEC.

The pop-ups will usually warn of grave danger to your PC and tell you to download something to eliminate the threat. The truth is there is no threat, and the software you are urged to install is the actual malware.
