This is another scareware program that tries to scare you into buying their product. They sell a fake antivirus known as Antivirus 2011 and, once installed, it will relentlessly badger you with fake scans and popups. It will most likely lock you out of just about anything useful on your PC, such as applications, settings, and websites.

• When online, your search results go to the wrong pages or some websites redirect for no apparent reason
• Windows may be slower than normal
• Many instances of iexplore.exe will be running, even when Internet Explorer is not being used
