is antivirus-computer-scan.com legitimate antivirus?
when using firefox my window will randomly close and a message will pop up saying i should run antivirus 2009. is this a legitimate antivirus program or is it a scam?
After downloading and installing all of them, run a FULL SCAN using each in SAFE MODE. Remove everything that they find. It would be best to run more than one scan of each.
Antivirus-computer-scan.com offers to scan computer free of charge. I would offer you the same but using true scanner. If you click the link for free scan launching at antivirus-computer-scan.com, malware will be installed at your PC. It is a prerequisite of computer security to remove antivirus-computer-scan.com and other malware.
Antivirus 2009 is a rogue/fake antivirus program. Basically, it's a virus that causes popups to occur regularly telling the user to buy antivirus 2009's full version, which is a boatload of crap. My laptop got infected once and boy did it suck.
