AntiAdd

AntiAdd is a deceptive application that is related to the fake security applications called REAnti and KeepCop. AntiAdd, just like its predecessors, is unable to detect and remove computer parasites. AntiAdd is not a trusted program. AntiAdd uses devious tactics to push computer users into purchasing a full version of the AntiAdd program.

Gullible computer users may end up purchasing AntiAdd which is not recommended. If you have AntiAdd installed on your system then you may start to get annoying popup messages and fake system scan results. It is best to take out time to remove AntiAdd now instead of later when damages may occur.
