It manipulates the name of the Microsoft Windows operating system in order to make an image of a legitimate application. This rogue anti-malware tool is not related to Microsoft Corporation in any way. Windows Antivirus is a typical rogue security tool.

It tries to convince you into purchasing its paid version by showing false-positive scan results and reports of imaginary attacks. Please don't trust any of its messages as there's nothing wrong with your PC apart from this software being on it. Please note that if you installed WindowsAntivirus virus, your computer might be at risk as that is a fake AV tool.

It will display misleading pop-ups trying to push its paid version on you, which does nothing at all. These aggressive tactics are used to trick gullible people into believing that there's a severe virus infection on their devices and that they need to buy a certain software to eliminate it. Please note that all scans, pop-ups, and other messages are fake. Rogue system tools can be distributed in many ways. This particular fake anti-malware tool was spread through these web pages:.

Remove it with Windows Antivirus software. Click here. If you see any similar messages, please be advised that they are fake as no website is able to determine whether your device is infected with any kind of malware or potentially unwanted programs PUPs. Online spying has got momentum in recent years and people are getting more and more interested in how to protect their privacy online. One of the basic means to add a layer of security — choose the most private and secure web browser. Although web browsers can't grant full privacy protection and security, some of them are much better at sandboxing, HTTPS upgrading, active content blocking, tracking blocking, phishing protection, and similar privacy-oriented features.

However, if you want true anonymity, we suggest you employ a powerful Private Internet Access VPN — it can encrypt all the traffic that comes and goes out of your computer, preventing tracking completely. While some files located on any computer are replaceable or useless, others can be extremely valuable. Family photos, work documents, school projects — these are types of files that we don't want to lose.

Unfortunately, there are many ways how unexpected data loss can occur: power cuts, Blue Screen of Death errors, hardware failures, crypto-malware attack, or even accidental deletion.
