How to remove Earth AV rogue anti-spyware

Malware Description:
Earth AV (aka EarthAV or Earth Antivirus) is a malicious program exploiting basically the same theme and activity patterns as its forerunners Green AV and Eco Antivirus. According to Earth AV’s main site hosted at Earth-AV.com, the program is allegedly a perfect solution to get one’s computer, files and identity protected. Too bad that’s not true. In fact, Earth AV is not nearly as trustworthy and efficient as it may initially appear to be. This rogue anti-spyware usually gets into a PC like sneaky spyware, i.e. without notifying the user or asking for his/her permission. Earth AV will commence its ‘performance’ inside your machine by displaying more than plenty of misleading malware detection warning pop-ups. Also, the nasty program will keep on running its scanners upon startup, i.e. each time you turn on your PC and log into Windows. The latter symptom happens because Earth AV creates a startup Registry entry once it infiltrates a computer. These scanners and alerts report the interception of multiple PC issues – however, these are fabricated and must not be trusted. Along with being a great nuisance due to its obsessive ads, Earth AV is as well system-damaging because it distorts your system from the inside considerably. The whole scope of Earth AV activity is aimed at making its victim fall for the purported security problems reported by this nefarious application. If a credulous user happens to swallow that bait, the rogueware will redirect the web browser to an online purchase form that recommends buying Earth AV full version. Of course, this so-called ‘commercial’ software will not help you defend your computer. It will only make things worse, not to mention that the scamware might have stolen your money. Taking all the above into consideration, we advise you remove Earth AV fake anti-spyware without delay.
