E-Set Antivirus 2011

When dealing with unknown or suspicious applications, it’s best to err on the side of caution, especially with E-Set Antivirus 2011. This rogue antispyware application, which derives from the same despicable family of rogues as Fake AVG Antivirus 2011, tries to fool its victims into accepting it as legitimate by playing on the name of the popular ESET antivirus program. E-Set Antivirus 2011 is a fake security tool and has no affiliation with any other legitimate security program or application. Despite what this rogue would like its victims to believe, E-Set Antivirus 2011 has no ability to protect a system, nor to identify or remove any type of threat or infection from an infected PC.

Seditious browser hijacking websites and bogus online malware scanners promote the E-Set Antivirus 2011 rogueware. E-Set Antivirus 2011 has also been known to use other avenues of spreading its Trojans and malware, including bundling it together with other legitimate security updates and downloads obtainable from third party websites.

NOTICE

Although this is particularly annoying, there is a way to free your Internet connection, which will ultimately help you to erase E-Set Antivirus 2011 for good.

Depending which browser you use, navigate over to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer. Once there, look for the Internet Explorer .exe file named iexplore.exe.

In order to effectively destroy E-Set Antivirus 2011 from your PC and regain control of what is rightfully yours you should invest in a genuine security tool which will be able to do just that.
