Does eXPress Antivirus Offer Security?
Topic: spyware
In a word, no.  eXPress Antivirus is malware, although this rogue security program claims to remove just that.  The number one goal of this application is to con the user into purchasing the product to remove parasites from their PC, which it cannot do.  eXPress Antivirus uses aggressive and misleading advertising to trick you into believing that your PC is infected, so that you will buy the product.

This program displays constant security alerts and warnings, informing you that infections exist.  They then invite you to download their free scan in order to find these parasites so that they can be removed.  What they do not tell you is that once you run the scan, you must pay for the fully licensed version of the product in order to get these infections removed.  eXPress Antivirus cannot scan your computer. Its claims to detect and remove parasites are completely false.

How might eXPress Antivirus install on your PC?

Sometimes simply downloading the free scan will actually place this parasite on your PC.  If you were smart and did not download the scan but got eXPress Antivirus anyway, it could have happened a number of ways.  This often occurs when you download other files, visit strange websites or share networks with others.  Spam e-mails may be the culprit as well.

What does malware do?

Malware and spyware frequently collect information about what you do online, such as the websites you visit or searches you perform.  It may also gain access to private information like passwords, credit card numbers and other business data.  Spyware runs constantly in the background, and starts up every time you log on to Windows.  Your computer may become slow, because these parasites use a good amount of your system resources.  It may also place more malware on your PC, which will make things worse.

Is there an easy way to remove eXPress Antivirus?


Removing it automatically with a reputable antispyware tool is the best way to get rid of eXPress Antivirus.  You can do it manually, but you must know exactly how it is done.  When not done right, manual removal may damage your PC.  This requires locating all related files and values, which is hard for most people because these files can hide from you.

Are you suspicious that eXPress Antivirus has been placed on your PC?  Visit http://bluepenguinsoftware.com/spyzooka for a free scan with SpyZooka, the only antispyware application that is 100% guaranteed and will remove every last trace of malware.

SoftSoldier: An Untrustworthy Rogue
Now Playing: SoftSoldier
Topic: spyware
SoftSoldier is a rogue security program that is promoted with the use of Trojans, websites that broadcase TV shows and fake online scanners.  SoftSoldier creates harmless files, then displays aggressive security warnings to the user.  If you download the scan they offer to detect these supposedly threatening files, the results will show these files that were created in an attempt to get you to purchase the product to remove them.  Don't worry too much about them, they are just fakes created to frighten you.

SoftSoldier displays constant security alerts and warnings in an effort to make you believe that your PC is infected with all types of infections, viruses and parasites.  The scan that is offered to detect these threats is bogus, and SoftSoldier is also incapable of detecting or removing anything.  While it may look very authentic, don't give them your money.  You will get nothing in return.

A legitimate Windows Security Center does not act in this manner, or display incessant security warnings, so if you begin getting bombarded with alerts it is most likely an infection.  How does SoftSoldier make its way on to your computer?  Downloading files, visiting questionable websites, spam emails and shared networks are common ways this may happen.  SoftSoldier is malware, and can cause your PC to become slow or unstable.  It uses a large amount of system resources, and runs constantly in the background each time you start up the system.

Other signs that you may be infected with SoftSoldier include annoying pop-up ads, a changed home page or new toolbars in your browser.  You may be redirected to websites advertising SoftSoldier as well.  Malicious applications like this one often track what you do when you are online, and can obtain personal information such as passwords and business account data.  If you have malware, you should remove it immediately to avoid further problems and possible damage to your computer.

Removing SoftSoldier manually is possible, but not advised unless you are extremely familiar with the process.  Manual removal requires halting all running processes, then locating all related files and values so that they can be deleted.  If done improperly, manualy removal can cause damage to your PC.

If you believe that SoftSoldier may have been installed on your computer, click here now for a free scan with Spyzooka, the only antispyware product that guarantees 100% removal of all infections, malware, and other parasites automatically!

AlphaAntivirus - Another Rogue Not to Be Trusted
Now Playing: AlphaAntivirus
Topic: spyware
AlphaAntivirus is a misleading anti-virus program that intends to fool the user into thinking their PC is infected with spyware and other parasites.  This one, like other rogue security programs, uses aggressive security warnings and advertising to frighten the user, so that they will download the scan that is offered.  Doing this may just install AlphaAntivirus on your PC, which is exactly what you do not want to do.  This stuff is badware!

Other ways that AlphaAntivirus may become installed on your PC is from visiting unknown websites that may not be secure, downloading files and links in spam emails.  There are other ways you could become a victim, but these are very common.  Usually, the user has no idea when this happens, and begins to realize there is a problem shortly thereafter.  When your PC becomes slow or unstable, you see pop-up ads every time you try to do anything at all, or your home page mysteriously changes, beware.

AlphaAntivirus and most other rogue security programs hope to get you to download the scan they offer, so that they can display the supposedly infected files on your PC.  These results are either fake or harmless files, but the user often does not know this and falls for the bait.  They purchase the product, which has no ability to scan, detect or remove anything at all.  Malicious people create these software programs to make money at others expense.

On the other side of the coin, AlphaAntivirus can disrupt your online activities.  Since it runs constantly in the background every time your PC starts up, it uses a good deal of system resources.  This makes your computer slow, and may also cause it to become unstable.  Spyware tracks what you do when you are online, and may also access your private information such as passwords and business accounts.  The longer it resides, the worse it gets.  When you have an idea that AlphaAntivirus is there, get rid of it.  That being said, please don't try to do this yourself!  It is not easy, and may cause damage to your computer when not done right.

Are you afraid that AlphaAntivirus may have been placed on your PC?  Click here now for a free scan with Spyzooka, the only antispyware tool that guarantees 100% removal of all infections, trojans, spyware and other parasites, leaving you with total security once again.
