Antivirus Smart Protection removal is today’s objective number one for users whose workstations have suffered from this malware infiltration. We have analyzed this rogue more thoroughly and came to the conclusion that this PC threat is primarily attacking the US, the UK and several other European countries. But the US is probably the target number one of this hoax. This rogue application does not care at all whether you want to see it or not inside of your PC. It can be spread as the attachment to any e-mail that you might receive (the suspicious one), via social networks like Facebook or other sources of virus penetration. The fact that such malware managed to get inside of your computer means that the level of anti-virus protection of your system is extremely low. Having the most powerful anti-virus installed on your machine is sometimes not enough to have total security and safety in the Web. Another essential factor in such issues is to be extremely careful with your browsing preferences. This means that you should have utmost caution while browsing certain sites, resources, pages, downloading files, clicking links, etc. Even social networks, as we said, may represent the platform for virus penetration and promotion. We do not want to blame the developers of such social networks for virus distribution. This is all due to abuse of the social networks by cyber crooks, criminals and frauds in order to implement their malicious plots.

Another important rule for you to adhere to is to keep your anti-virus databases updated regularly. You should be aware of what anti-virus programs are installed on your system and how regularly updated. Make sure that they are updated several times a day automatically each time you turn your computer on. If you don’t want automatic updates then make sure to run personalized manual updates of your security software (whatever it is). But the saddest fact is that very often the world’s leading anti-virus applications are sometimes incapable of timely identifying and removing viruses like Antivirus Smart Protection. If your computer has become the victim of Antivirus Smart Protection you should avoid any panic on your part. Ignore and disregard anything this virus tells you. All its claims about viruses and malwares available on your system are totally fake, except for the fact that this rogue is the malware itself. Do not purchase this rogue anti-spyware program called Antivirus Smart Protection. If you have already done so by mistake then please dispute your charges immediately via your good bank. Finally, please find the removal guide provided in the link below which will help you eliminate this hoax quickly and effectively – http://www.2-viruses.com/remove-antivirus-smart-protection .
