Win 7 Anti-Virus 2012 is another creation of cyber criminals. It’s is a fake antivirus tool that secretly sneaks into computers and uses malicious methods in order to get users trust and sell them a useless program.
The program infiltrates with a help of Trojan viruses and acts on the system despite your will.
Win 7 Anti-Virus 2012 loads its fake scanner and simulates system scan. However, it doesn’t detect real infections and instead of that generates fabricated scan results where none of the “detected” files are harmful. Less experienced computer users may take these scan results for granted and then follow the next steps that it offers to you.
If you fall for this trick, the application will easily gain some money from you. Basically, Win 7 Anti-Virus 2012 will state that it can remove all the infections that were detected on your computer but first you must purchase its license. As soon as the program reveals your credit card information, it will be charged.
While Win 7 Anti-Virus 2012 is running on your system, you will also notice a variety of pop up ads and security notifications claiming that your system is at risk because of spyware infections and other security issues.
When it comes to deleting malicious files, Win 7 Anti-Virus 2012 is completely helpless so make sure to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Removal:
Kill malicious Processes from Task Manager:
- <random>.exe
Location of the infection:
- %UserProfile%\AppData\[random].exe
- %AppData%\Local\[random].exe
Registry Entries to be removed. (Take a backup of registry, before editing it)
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\afwserv.exe "Debugger" = 'svchost.exe'
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\avastsvc.exe "Debugger" = 'svchost.exe'
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\avastui.exe "Debugger" = 'svchost.exe'
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\exefile\shell\open\command “(Default)” = ‘”%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\[random].exe” /START “%1? %*’
Although it is possible to manually remove Win 7 Antivirus 2012, such activity can permanently damage your system if any mistakes are made in the process, as advanced spyware parasites are able to automatically repair themselves if not completely removed. Thus, manual spyware removal is recommended for experienced users only, such as IT specialists or highly qualified system administrators. For other users, we recommend malware and spyware removal applications.
After removing all these files, restart your computer and the issue will be fixed. And don’t forget to do update your Security Software, check the Firewall Settings and the Operating System and finally do a full system scan with the Security Software.
