Myantispyware team November 23, 2008     9 Comments    

Antivirus Trigger is a rogue antispyware program designed to trick users into buying a fake software by using scare tactics. It is a fresh clone of rogue antispyware called VirusTrigger. Antivirus Trigger uses a Zlob trojan (fake audio and video codec) for the hit on your computer. Once infected, your computer will display fake security alert stating that your computer infected with malware:

System Alert!
Your system might be infected with malicious software that may impact the performance of your computer. Click the icon for a free scan to detect any active spyware applications.

After clicking this, you will be brought to the AntivirusTrigger website.

During installation, Antivirus Trigger configures itself to run automatically every time, when you start your computer. Once running, Antivirus Trigger will scan your computer and list a variety of spyware, malware. Then, it said that you should purchase AntivirusTrigger in order to remove them. Running of the program may drastically slow the performance of your computer.

    Same situation as MA. How do we download Malware Bytes if the Trigger is locking up the laptop computer. No access to internet. Download on another computer to a cd and run on laptop? DESPERATE to fix! Thanks!

    Worked like a charm, but the website for the remover gets blocked by the malware. What a whore. Had to use a thumbdrive to load the removal software.

    Thanks for the fix.
