AntiVirus System 2011 is unable to live up to its over embellished promises, and has no intention or ability to detect, quarantine or remove threats and infections from the system. This rogue has only one clearly defined goal – to fleece its victim out of as much money as possible. AntiVirus System 2011 will not stop at anything, and will do everything in its power to ensure it successfully attains this goal, even if that means causing permanent and irrevocable damage to its victim’s system.

It also bundles AntiVirus System 2011 Trojan and malware together with legitimate security updates and software downloads from third party websites. As with most other rogueware, AntiVirus System 2011 enters its victim’s PC forcefully at the oblivious determent to the PC owner. AntiVirus System 2011 will also remain hidden on the system, until such time it deems appropriate to reveal itself to the user through obnoxious and false security notifications.

"Security Center

"Security Center Alert
To help protect your computer, Security Center has blocked some features of this program.
