WinPC Antivirus = Fake SCAMWARE

[r_manic]

Make sure you get WinPC Defender, not WinPC Antivirus. WinPC "Antivirus" basically reports fake infections and the like, to scare people into buying the "full-version" so that the "infections" can be removed.

Luckily if you've accidentally downloaded and installed WinPC Antivirus, removal instructions are available here: http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-winpc-antivirus.html

How one gets hold of WinPC "Anti-virus" in the first place? I tried but I can't find it, all I find is "removals"....

Dude... I just wrote that WinPC Antivirus is scamware. Again, look for WinPC Defender 😛
