Cybercrooks deceive users to uninstall their true anti-virus software

Anti-Virus

A new malware was developed by cyber crooks to lure unwitting users into uninstalling legitimate anti-virus applications and instead using fake and useless software. A bogus package dubbed AnVi Antivirus generates a message that suggest that legitimate apps are «uncertified» and ought to be removed. Further the message threatens that if a user fails to take action his/her computer performance will degrade.
