Antivirus8 is a rogue antispyware program that has been recently noticed on the internet infecting random computer systems. The goal of this malicious program is to get some money from computer users by selling them a fake antispyware tool. The means that it uses to trick are very common to most rogue antispyware programs. It uses fake scanner system and warns you by displaying tons of fabricated pop up ads etc.
When Antivirus 8 sneaks into the system it is configured to start automatically after each system reboot.
Basically that means that you will see a scanner loaded on your system every time you turn on your computer. You might start thinking that your computer is really being scanned by Antivirus8 program but in reality it only imitates this action. Afterwards the program generates a list of infections and states that you must urgently remove them as they pose risk to your machine.
Removing the files detected as infections is another challenge. The program states that this is only possible if your purchase a full version of Antivirus 8. However, you have to know that this is not a solution. Such version of the program doesn’t even exist and it only wants to rip you off.
