How to remove Active Antivir rogue anti-spyware

Malware Description:
The malicious advent of the rogue program called Active Antivir (also known as ActiveAntivir or Active Antivirus) is some real bad news for the cyber-security world. The most alarming thing about Active Antivir is the fact that this program’s basic features testify to its similarity with the extremely devastating rogue anti-spyware called Personal Antivirus which has done a lot of harm to computer world during the last couple of months. Active Antivir is being promoted through trojans or browser-hijacking techniques. The former method takes place without any authorization or user approval because trojan viruses infiltrate the targeted sysetm via imperceptible security exploits. The latter tactics pre-suppose redirecting potential victims to Active Antivir “official” (rather semi-official) website at Activeantivir.com. No matter which way of Active Antivir intrusion you run into, you will end up getting the rogue installed without your awareness and consent. When Active Antivir is inside and running, it tends to issue fake ads that notify the user about the detected threats which are claimed to be on board the computer. Such tactics may be complemented by the use of fake security scanners that pretend to detect malware and then recommend installing Active Antivir for removing them. It’s essential to acknowledge that Active Antivir tries to scare you and thus convince you to purchase its license. Do not get tricked so easily. On the other hand, it’s not acceptable to let Active Antivir stay on your PC, so it’s strongly recommended to remove Active Antivir if it strikes your computer.
