Malware Description:
TRE AntiVirus is a slightly modified version of the WiniGuard rogue anti-spyware family which was earlier represented by such badware applications as Soft Soldier, Trust Fighter and SecuritySoldier, to name just a few. TRE AntiVirus uses the same old tactics as its clones rogues did, only the GUI is somewhat different – it’s probably the malware vendors’ response to some IT-experts indirect reproach about their laziness as they would only swap the names of their previous fake security products without changing anything else. TRE AntiVirus does not appear on one’s computer through a standard installation procedure unlike regular programs. It’s trojan viruses to blame for TRE AntiVirus stealthy infiltration because trojans bypass the targeted computer system authentication and promote TRE AntiVirus unregistered copy inside without the user’s approval and knowledge. Having completed the latent intrusion procedure, TRE AntiVirus gets down to brainwashing the victim by displaying dishonest adware (popup ads, scanners and Security Center alerts which are all fabricated. Such tricks of TRE AntiVirus are all about getting you confused and thinking your computer is really in danger and needs a cure. This ‘remedy’ will then be prompted as TRE AntiVirus full commercial version which is alleged to rescue your PC. Please be aware that TRE AntiVirus does not detect actual virus threats simply because it’s not capable of this. TRE AntiVirus only mimics malware detection to make you buy its license. Unless you remove TRE AntiVirus ASAP, it may badly damage your Operating System. Please, see additional details on TRE AntiVirus removal below.
