Antivirus 8 Removal GuideAntivirus 8 Removal Guide

Antivirus 8 is a fake antivirus program that disguises itself as a legitimate antivirus which cannot protect computers at all. When Antivirus 8 installs in the computer, it will start automatically when Windows boot. Antivirus 8 will scan the computer and state that the computer is infected by malwares. In fact, Antivirus 8 cannot detect any malware in the computer. Antivirus 8 will continue to alert the user to remove the malware by asking the user to purchase the full version of Antivirus 8 in order to remove the malware and to have full time protection.

Antivirus 8 claims that it can provide protection against malicious software. It provide fake features like Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Resident Shield and Scan PC. None of the these feature really function well. Be sure you don't purchase it.
