subject: Av Online Protection Is Not What It Pretends To Be [print this page] If you would ask me what AV Protection Online, I would provide you with a very simple answer: AV Protection Online is a computer infection, else called rogue antispyware application. If you were to ask me whether it is dangerous, then my answer would definitely be YES. The reason to it being the fact that the rogue comes from the notorious Rogue.WinAVPro family, and so you should remove AV Protection Online from your computer if you have this infection torturing you at the moment.
Perhaps you have heard of AV Protection Onlines predecessor. It was called OpenCloud Security, and just weeks ago it was attacking innocent users worldwide. Now its AV Protection Onlines turn, and it will sure achieve its goal of ripping you off, if you do not take the infection seriously. The most dangerous thing about this rogue is that it seldom comes alone. It has been reported that sometimes AV Protection Online is installed into the affected computer together with the ZeroAccess rootkit. This rootkit allows the infection to remain undetected, and lies deep down in the Windows Registry. So, if you delete a part of the program, the rootkit will make sure that AV Protection Online regenerates to its full capacity in no time. It means that if you want to get rid of the rogue, you need to get rid of the rootkit as well.
Aside from that AV Protection Online exhibits the usual rogue behavior by scanning your system and reporting various fake infections to you like, for example, Trojan.VBS.Qhost, Trojan-Downloader.JS.Remora, Trojan-Downloader.JS.Agent and many more. Were you to google these names, you would find out that these parasites are not made up, but the thing is that they do not exist there in your machine. The scan results are generated by the rogue to scare you into activating the program, which would eventually lead to the loss of your hard earned money.
You definitely do not want that to happen, so your best choice in this situation is to terminate AV Protection Online right now. Naturally, since this rogue comes with a rootkit, it can be extremely hard to perform a manual removal, especially, if you are not that good at computer technologies, and therefore, you are strongly advised to get yourself a good antimalware tool that will take care of AV Protection Online for you automatically, at the same time making sure that no other rogue attacks you ever again in the future.
