Avira AntiVir Enhanced Protection Mode Virus

If you are looking for a powerful, user friendly and genuine security tool to complement your PC’s security, then steer well clear of Avira AntiVir Enhanced Protection Mode Virus. This rogue antispyware application is completely fake, and targets users running the Windows 7, Vista and XP operating systems. This cleverly designed rogue attempts to emulate the workings of the authentic Avira antivirus application, but do not be fooled by its genuine looking taskbar icons and GUIs, Avira AntiVir Enhanced Protection Mode Virus is not affiliated with the real Avira in any way. This is only another ploy by clever cyber criminals to rip you off.

As of late, Avira AntiVir Enhanced Protection Mode Virus has been reported as infecting most of its victims through a corrupt Adobe Flash update, distributed by other third party sites other than Adobe itself. It is very important that you only download Adobe Flash updates from the original Adobe site, and from nowhere else. Another popular distribution avenue Avira AntiVir Enhanced Protection Mode Virus is taking is spreading itself through Facebook, posting fake wallposts on members’ walls and infecting its victims through this way.

This Avira AntiVir Enhanced Protection Mode Virus is an extremely intelligent infection. It will recognize users who are using Avira, and will clone every aspect of the application so as to convincingly trick users into thinking they are using the real thing. This is done so that the user will still feel confident in that his system security is up to date, while in the meantime his sensitive information is being stolen.

PCs infected with Avira AntiVir Enhanced Protection Mode Virus will react as follows. Once the user logs on to Windows a beige window will appear, which states that the ‘release date of the databases’ is current. The time and date on this window will be the same as the moment you logged on to Windows, just another tactic used by Avira AntiVir Enhanced Protection Mode Virus to falsely win its victim’s trust. The text will read as follows:

Antivira AntiVir
Release date of the anti-virus database:
Time and Date
Your system is protected

Should you click on this false taskbar icon, there will be a red window popping up stating the following:

Attention! Avira AntiVir operates under enhanced protection mode. This is a temporary measure necessary for immediate response to threat from virus. No action is required from you.

Symptoms associated with this infection include being unable to connect to the Internet, as well as being unable to launch any application on the infected PC. This is done in an effort by the rogue to prevent the user from running or downloading any application which may be able to get rid of Avira AntiVir Enhanced Protection Mode Virus.

Really there only is one way to regain control of your PC and to limit the damage this rogue will cause, and that is to destroy Avira AntiVir Enhanced Protection Mode Virus before it destroys your PC. This can safest and most effectively be achieved by using the removal power of a genuine security tool which will not only erase Avira AntiVir Enhanced Protection Mode Virus but also protect against similar attacks in future.
