Do you know what Cloud AV 2012 is?

With the increasing number of rogue antispyware applications like AV Secure 2012 littering the web it has become difficult at times for even expert users to distinguish between genuine and rubbish tools. AV Secure 2012 does a good job at fooling inexperienced users into believing that it is a legitimate security tool, when in fact the complete opposite is true. This rogue antispyware application was designed specifically to fleece users out of their money while offering them absolutely nothing of value in return.

If you are wondering how AV Secure 2012 manages to gain entry into the system, the rogue makes use of established forms of infection. These range from using bogus online malware scanners and seditious browser hijacking websites as a part of its online marketing campaign. The user will remain oblivious to the presence of AV Secure 2012 on the system until such time that the rogue reveals its presence to the user.

This will happen by AV Secure 2012 editing registry entries to allow itself to launch in the computer’s memory each time the user logs on to Windows. The rogue will then start a fake security scan of the system which will inevitably yield false positives of supposed threats being present on the system. The thing is these results are all falsely manufactured by the rogue, and users are advised against ever believing any correspondence received from AV Secure 2012.

Shortly following the fake scan users will start receiving fake security alerts generated by AV Secure 2012 in a further attempt to scare and panic them into paying for the worthless software. These fake alerts include the following:
