Beware! A New Rogue Eco AntiVirus 2010 Attacking!

Are you looking for a reliable anti-spyware application for your personal computer? Certainly, you are! So don't just get hooked on a malicious one. Just recently, hackers created rogueware under the environment friendly name, Eco AntiVirus 2010 from the same family as Green AV. The software might be helpful to our environment but in reality it is extremely dangerous to our home and office computers.

Usually, Eco AntiVirus 2010 enters your PC without you even noticing that. It might happen after you just click on the download button, or try to quit some annoying pop-up alert. Of course, sometimes computer users trust such applications and download them on purpose. I wouldn't even try to do that in your shoes.

During the process of installation, Trojans on which the fake application is based make some configurations on the registry. First, after the installation Eco AntiVirus 2010 is started every time you boot Windows up. Then the backdoor Trojans create a bunch of files which are recognized as infections during the simulated scans.

As soon as Eco AntiVirus 2010 is on your PC, the application starts its fake activities. After fake scans, you keep getting false scan reports in which you get the following message: "Your computer is infected." In addition to that, pop-up warnings start annoying you on your every step on PC. You are threatened in all different ways. Eco AntiVirus 2010 puts all the efforts to make you believe that your computer is in danger, and the only way to fix this situation is to purchase the full version of the application, which costs $99.99.

All in all, just don't throw your money away. Eco AntiVirus 2010 is just scam software. It first threatens you and then tries to benefit from you. Don't fall in these traps.
