Malware Description:
Vista Antispyware 2011 is a malicious code that infects computer running different Operating Systems but shows itself under this name if the injected PC is based on Vista. This is a representative of a family of rogue antivirus software practicing this OS swapping trick. It means if the exact same trojan infiltrates an XP system, it will be called XP Antispyware 2011 (actually, we described this latter one some time ago – check out the link to read more). Vista Antispyware 2011 performs the standard set of actions for scareware: getting inside without asking for one’s permission; then displaying false positives; finally, swindling the victims into paying for the registration. Among these phases of the rogue’s activity, the most annoying is the one involving the fake pop-ups and falsified scanners. Vista Antispyware 2011 pretends to check your PC for potential threats and, guess what, it does find those. The malware claims to detect trojan horses, spyware, adware, keyloggers and whatnot inside your machine. Of course it doesn’t make any sense believing those detection reports as they are deliberately fabricated, remember? This trickery is the basement for the next stage of the plan implemented by Vista Antispyware 2011. It always asks the user for a payment at the end of the day. It states that if you purchase the license for activating its full version, you will discover the complete virus protection potential of this software. That is not true beyond doubt.
