Antivirus MonitorThe dedication displayed by developers behind antispyware applications such as Antivirus Monitor can at times be mind boggling. This rogue in particular, which finds its roots directly from the well known and much despised rogues Antimalware Go and Antivirus .NET was designed explicitly to act as a vehicle with which unscrupulous criminals will proceed to target and rip honest consumers off. Antivirus Monitor may come across as a genuine and user friendly security tool, but this fake façade is not an accurate depiction of its software, as Antivirus Monitor neither has the intention or ability to live up to any of its over hyped promises. Antivirus Monitor makes use of various nefarious tactics to root its infection into its host PCs. Some of the most popular ways it goes about doing this includes making use of dangerous browser hijackers and bundled downloads to distribute its seditious Trojans. One of the browser hijackers related to the online marketing campaign of Antivirus Monitor, which lists its most expensive version of the rogue at a whopping $69.95 is softwaream.com. If you find yourself unwittingly redirected to this site you have serious cause for concern.
