Antivirus360 Russian rogue powered by adware

Antivirus360 Russian rogue powered by adware

Antivirus360 is the first Russian rogue that I have ever encountered in my 4.5 years of pursuit.

The application uses a fake/scare scanner page to encourage user to download the application

They also make use of fake porn and fake codec pages to push this application. Info here

The group behind this Antivirus360 Russian rogue has mentioned that this application is a shareware and under the TOS also mentions that the user must install another program called RekloPay.

RekloPay is an adware program which displays commercial advertisement in the center of the screen. (it only displayed adult store advertisement in all our testing)

To remove this crap the rules laid out is simple: see 1000 ads displayed by RekloPay adware or pay the full cost by sending 2 SMS fee.

Stay away from this rogue.
