WinPC Antivirus description

WinPC Antivirus is the successor of the infamous rogue anti-spyware program WinPC Defender. Both applications are fake security software and none of them should be trusted.

WinPC Antivirus usually infects the system through spam email messages, trojans or some other malware. Once it becomes active the program loads fake system scans, security alerts and warning messages about critical infections found on the computer in order to frighten the user and force into buying the full version of the software. However, WinPC Antivirus does not protect the system. On the contrary, it causes even more damage by slowing down your computer and flooding it with numerous fake error messages.

The only purpose of this program is to trick the user into buying its ‘full version’ which by no means should be considered as legitimate security software. If WinPC Antivirus has been detected on your PC it should be immediately removed by following the instructions listed bellow.
