Remove Fake E-Set Antivirus 2011 virus popups
A couple months ago, badware scammers hijacked the legitimate AVG Antivirus software to make their own fake AVG Antivirus 2011. We were hoping that dirty trick would be a one-time deal, but the same group of scammers have struck again with their fake E-Set Antivirus software, which attempts to profit off the good name of the respected ESET online security company.
E-SET Antivirus is quite similar to another fake antivirus: AVG Antivirus 2011. This is not accidental : This is the same parasite with different name. The makers have changed the name string in the source, but the behavior of ESET Antivirus 2011 is the same as its predecessor. Typically, you get rogue infection by downloading it from fake scanner pages that display “you are infected” messages for all their visitors, by trojans using browser exploits or bundled with some sort of “free” downloads. Once inside, E-SET Antivirus 2011 will configure your PC to execute its executables on each system startup and will start trying to scare you as soon as PC is rebooted.
