Antispymv.com

Antispymv.com is the latest malicious website associated with rogue antispyware. Also considered a Browser hijacker application, Antispymv.com should not be taken lightly!

Being a rogue browser hijacker, Antispymv.com advertises the fake application: Antivir Solution Pro security program. Antispymv.com tends to trick users into believing their PC is infected and redirects the user’s browser to the web pages that promote fraudulent registered versions of Antivir Solution pro. This is a fraud for the mere fact that malware has no ability to detect and remove security threats.

What this entails is that Antispymv.com will make use of covert and/or undocumented tactics to ensure a way of penetrating a computer system; once embed within a system, it will then redirect the browser to its affiliate websites.

Antispymv.com is known to contain the following properties:
- Creates a startup registry entry.
- Registers a 32-bit in-process server DLL.
- Registers a Browser Helper Object (Microsoft\'s Internet Explorer plug-in module).
- Contains characteristics of an identified security risk.

A computer infected with files associated with Antispymv.com may display the following basic symptoms, which a computer user should look out for:

• Slow computer performance:
It just takes one parasite like those affiliated with Antispymv.com to slow down a computer dramatically. If your PC takes longer than usual to reboot, or if your Internet connection is unusually slow, you may be infected with malware.

• New desktop shortcuts or switched homepage:
Badware may change your Internet settings to redirect your homepage to another website. Badware can even add desktop shortcuts to your PC. It is also not uncommon for this type of malware to change legitimate websites, such as www.google.com, and use them to further create the illusion that your system is I danger – by adding aggressive advertising to the homepage you will be directed to.

• Annoying pop-up messages:
Badware can bombard your computer with popup ads, even when you’re not online. Through these pop-up messages, you may be tricked into downloading more spyware.

One will need to remove all traces of Antispymv.com from the infected computer system, as soon as it has been detected. The thing about Profantivir.com, and many malware applications, is the fact that it is extremely difficult to delete from an infected system.

All in all, I would recommend that one should make use of a reliable and legitimate, fully functional, up-to-date anti-spyware application, to remove Antispymv.com and all its components from the infected computer system.
