Not too long ago, my computer was taken hostage by a program named Top Antivirus. This came as a serious blow considering the amount of time I typically spend on my computer each and every day. I was not only put out when it comes to spending my leisure time on the computer, but my work life was affected as well. I wanted to do something to prevent others from falling victim to this. While there is nothing I can do to personally remove Top Antivirus from cyberspace, I hope that by writing this article I can spread some good information that will come in helpful to you. If Top Antivirus is presently on your system then there is a good chance you are looking for a way to have it removed. This article will explain how. If you have yet to hear about this bad software, consider yourself lucky, but read this article anyways because good information can go a long ways towards protecting your from being scammed.
Top Antivirus belongs to a classification of software referred to as rogue antispyware. As rogue antispyware, Top Antivirus reports threats that do not exist. Now why would any program report non-existent threats? The answer to this is quite simple – to make money. This malicious program reports threats to your system and then proceeds to explain that the only way to have them removed is by purchasing the full download of Top Antivirus. Please don’t do this! To do so would be paramount to paying the very outfit which is behind your troubles. I made the unfortunate mistake of paying this program and I continue to regret it today.
You will have no question as to whether your system is infected if Top Antivirus is truly on your computer system. You will know it because your system will be bombarded with an onslaught of annoying pop ups. This aggressive pop up campaign will explain to you that your computer is in imminent danger of being rendered inoperable unless you provide your credit card number and download Top Antivirus. What the pop ups fail to tell you is that your biggest problem is Top Antivirus itself.
While your system is infected with this malicious software you will experience a host of problems. Your computer will operate extremely slowly and sluggishly. As mentioned above, your system will be bombarded with pop ups from a variety of questionable sources. Add-ons will be installed to your system without your consent or permission. Scans and programs will be run without your command. In short, your system will operate as if it has a mind of its own. You will be unable to do much of anything on your system with efficiency.
Finding a solution is a necessity. The problem is that because Top Antivirus is installed via a Trojan horse virus, removing it manually is generally ineffective. It will simply be reinstalled unless you recruit the assistance of Spyzooka to assist you. Spyzooka is the only program fully guaranteed to remove Top Antivirus from your system.
