How to Remove Antivirus 360 with BitDefender

This section will discuss how to remove antivirus 360 with BitDefender antivirus program. This advisory is important, because there seems to be no end to software trickery over the Internet.

The Antivirus 360 is an antispyware program with a curiously generic name. At a first glance, or at least for the novice computer user, the Antivirus 360 is a seemingly legitimate software product. It purports to scan your computer for viruses at the fastest time possible, and promises to remove your malware infestation as effectively as possible. When it runs a suggested initial proprietary scan of a novice user’s computer, the user might get the shock of his life when the Antivirus 360 detects a massive group of viruses. It then tries to suggest that the user purchase and download the latest version of Antivirus 360 to remove all the pent-up threats in the computer.

What the Antivirus 360 application does however, is plain deception. The Antivirus 360 is one of those rogue antispyware programs that are not legitimate software products at all, but bogus programs for the purpose of profit. So now, the question is how to remove Antivirus 360 with BitDefender?

We have discussed its main attack strategy above. When a user visits one of its malicious download sites or remote scanning facility, Antivirus 360 will suggest trying to do a quick scan of the computer. The “antivirus” will then display a bunch of messages that alarms the user to the presence of viruses in his computer. Of course, the information is false, as the Antivirus 360 completely fabricates the report of the virus existence. It will then prompt the user to buy the complete product, promising instant removal once it is installed and run.

A Trojan horse virus called the Trojan.Downloader.FakeAv.AH necessitates the whole process. It is primarily responsible for redirecting the user to the purported Web site or bogus scanning page, and then executes its modus operandi there.

Some of the possible notices of Antivirus 360 include similar messages like:
1)    “Your computer has viruses! You need to cure your files of these malware to prevent loss and damage. The Antivirus 360 will help you eliminate the threats. Download now!”, or

2)    “Antivirus 360 has found X viruses in your computer! Download Antivirus 360 now and remove the threats to your computer.”
Unfortunately, many people who do not know how to spot bogus offers get lured in by the false information that Antivirus 360 presents. All it takes is for one primer program, which is actually a virus, and a clueless user, who allows himself to be redirected to a bogus Web site. Obviously, we need to treat the Antivirus 360 as one of the malware out there.

So the question remains: How to remove Antivirus 360 with BitDefender? The BitDefender antivirus applications definitely have in their list of known viruses the Trojan horse virus responsible for the scheme.

How to remove Antivirus 360 with BitDefender? Simply run BitDefender and let it take care of the rogue antispyware infection.
