Antivirus 360 featured in top PC magazines and antivirus certification labs!

Posted on 03:54 by Unknown
No, we are not talking about Norton 360, which is a genuine security software. This is about Antivirus 360, one of the latest rogue security software (info here).

Now, gang responsible for Antivirus 360 has gone one step further! Their new site, http://anti-viruspcscanner.com (78.46.216.238), claims that Antivirus 360 has been rated as top antivirus solution by reputed websites like Computer Shopper, LAPTOP Magazine, PC Magazine, Computer Active, PC Advisor and CNET.



Apart from this, they also blatantly display Virus Bulletin, West Coast Labs Checkmark and ICSA Labs certifications, which are obviously fake!


All these fake recommendations and a deceptive name may lead an innocent PC user to download Antivirus 360 into his/her PC.


As per the site http://anti-viruspcscanner.com (78.46.216.238), the company responsible for Antivirus 360 is:
BOLZAR LIMITED Arch. Makariou III. 69. TLAIS TOWER. P.C. 1070. Nicosia, Cyprus.
Contact email: company@Antivirus360pro.com


And, it seems that BOLZAR LIMITED (http://bolzar.biz (216.195.62.169)) develops few other fake security software as well:
Antivirus Security - http://antivirussecurity-solution.com/ (89.149.255.191)
Antispyware32 - http://antispyware32.com/ (84.16.231.194)

VirusTotal scan result of Antivirus 360 is available here. An automated analysis of Antivirus 360 is available at ThreatExpert. Stay away from these rogues :)
