How to remove AntiToolbar fake security program
30.12.2009 | Malware Type: Fake Security Programs
Malware Description:
AntiToolbar (aka Anti Toolbar or AntiToolbar Pro) is a new character of fake security software industry. AntiToolbar suggests people its assistance in terms of cleaning up their computer systems from unwanted add-ons, browser hijackers, tracking cookies etc. That sounds quite commendable but unfortunately AntiToolbar does not stick to promises it makes. AntiToolbar is to be installed manually from its website so you should stay alert and refrain from believing any internet sources recommending you to download and test AntiToolbar software. Once installed and active, AntiToolbar will offer using some of its basic options like scanning your system for errors and other types of insecure activity. The scan reveals deliberately fabricated results though. AntiToolbar tends to trigger popup warning messages that it allegedly found some critical threats which are strongly recommended to be removed. And this ‘removal’ will not go without you having to pay a $29.95 fee for AntiToolbar Pro version first. The above scheme is characteristic of fake security applications, although AntiToolbar appears to be less aggressive with regard to its behavior and only rarely uses obscure trojan-based infiltration techniques. Anyway, we recommend you to stay away from Anti Toolbar application since it’s a potentially unwanted one and may mislead you considerably. If you download AntiToolbar and find it hard to uninstall this software, please follow the instructions below to remove AntiToolbar from your system.
