Additional descriptions

Detection & removal

AntiVirus 2008 is a family of "rogue" antivirus software that will display false virus warnings. It creates popups and attempts to connect to a series of websites to make the user download additional malware and trick them into paying for the false services the applications provide.

New variants of this family are as of this writing created continously.
