How to Remove AV Protection 2011 (Uninstall Guide)

Posted on 15:07 by Unknown
AV Protection 2011 is a form of malware that tries to trick users into paying for the program to remove fictitious virus threats. Internet users face the challenge of distinguishing between legitimate and malicious software. Besides, fake anti-virus programs display truly convincing but unfortunately fraudulent security alerts in order to make you think that your computer is infected with spyware, keyloggers, trojans and other dangerous stuff. Such combination can easily trick unsuspecting users into purchasing completely bogus security product. Cyber criminals use numerous distribution methods to distribute AV Protection 2011 and other malicious software. Spamming and blackhat search engine optimization techniques are very popular but cyber crooks may also use exploit packs, fake virus scanners and social engineering to earn significant returns on the investment. Very often they use pay-per-install business model to monetize botnets' operations. So, as you can see, cyber criminals have everything required to set up and to maintain malware, including AV Protection 2011 and similar scareware. To remove AV Protection 2011 from your computer, please follow the removal instructions below.



When run, AV Protection 2011 blocks legitimate antivirus software and certain malware removal tools. What is more, it may lock down Windows functionality to protect itself from being removed. In conjunction with rootkits, very often TDSS or other sophisticated malware, this rogue antivirus can cause a lot of problems especially if you are not computer savvy. If you're having a hard time removing it, it's because your removal procedure is hopelessly flawed. By far the most easiest way to remove AV Protection 2011 is to use this debugged registration key 9992665263 and then scan your computer with anti-malware software. However, you can follow alternate removal methods described below as well. Just follow the removal instructions below very carefully. Most importantly, do not purchase it.
