I would just like my money back and I have requested twice via e-mail.

Antivirus 2008 Scam

AUTHOR: Peter - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, June 24, 2008

Antivirus 2008, also known as Antivirus2008, Antivirus 2008 Pro, is a rogue anti-spyware program that uses false spyware results to lure you to purchase its full version. Antivirus 2008 is usually promoted via a ZLOB/MediaAccess Codec installer found on adult websites. You can also install it manually on the rogue website antivirus-scanner.com. Antivirus 2008 may use its system scanner to display false positives which work as an incentive to make unsuspecting users purchase Antivirus 2008's commercial version.

AntiVirus 2008 may also display other third-party ads and, according to its EULA, AntiVirus 2008 has adware terms added. Do not click on any link provided by Antivirus 2008. Once you click on the link provided, you'll be redirected to Antivirus 2008's website (antivirus2008.com) to download and purchase Antivirus 2008's rogue anti-spyware program.
