A-Fast Antivirus is a rogue anti-spyware program that uses misleading methods to scare users into thinking that their computers are infected with malware.
This scareware is promoted through the use of Trojans and various malicious websites such as fake online scanners. Once installed, A-Fast Antivirus will simulate a system scan and report numerous infections. Then it will prompt you to pay for a full version of the program to remove the infections which don't even exist. Furthermore, A-Fast Antivirus will display fake security alerts and pop-ups from Windows task bar stating that your computer is not protected or under attack from a remote computer.The rogue program also blocks legitimate anti-malware programs and system tools such as task manager stating that it's infected. A-Fast Antivirus is a scam. Don't buy this bogus program. Instead, please use the removal instructions below to remove A-Fast Antivirus from your computer as soon as possible.
