同时Avira警告小心假的Avira产品,网址有一个:http://adwaredefend.com/
假的图片标志。假的产品名称为: "Security Antivirus Suite" or "Antivirus Security Suite" 口号为:“20 Years of Total Protection”。这个产品会提示你的电脑中了恶意程序,并诱导你下载产品,其实该假的产品没有用处。
并且通过 Google 搜索“Antivir”时,其搜索结果中包含大量虚假 AntiVir 页面。

Cybercriminals are imitating the look of Avira products to help them spread their fraudulent and useless pseudo security solutions
Tettnang, 12 February 2010 – Even cybergangsters are aware of the good reputation and widespread use of Avira Security Solutions. Fake anti-virus solutions have now turned up that imitate the look of Avira in an attempt to take advantage of unsuspecting users. The falsified versions are called "Security Antivirus Suite" or "Antivirus Security Suite" and are offered using the promotional slogan “20 Years of Total Protection” on websites that also ape the look and feel of the Avira website. Avira asks all users only to download Avira AntiVir Personal-Free Antivirus from the official website www.free-av.com.
Known as FakeAV, RogueAV or scareware, these useless programs are designed to fool users into believing their computer has been infected with malware, even though such malware does not exist. On the contrary, the providers of this fraudulent software load harmless files onto the user’s PC during installation, which often takes place unnoticed in the background while users are surfing the Net, due to vulnerabilities in outdated programs on the PC; these harmless files are then reported as detected viruses.
The cybercriminals have tried to imitate the Avira logo
Users can protect themselves by using an up-to-date anti-virus solution from a bonafide provider on their PC and by making sure to keep the installed programs and the operating system up-to-date at all times. Users should always get software directly from the manufacturers’ download sites. To be sure of a clean source, PC users should key in the URL directly into the address line in their browser window, for example www.free-av.com.
The fake websites have a look and feel very similar to the Avira website
In addition to free basic protection with Avira AntiVir Personal, more extensive protection packages are also available. Avira AntiVir Premium uses WebGuard to filter out malware from the data stream before it ever reaches the web browser. Virus protection costs |
