AntiAID

AntiAID is a dangerous security program that comes from the family of the rogue anti-spyware program known as WiniBlueSoft. AntiAID is able to use misleading methods to get computer users to purchase a full version of the AntiAID program. Usually these methods include displaying of erroneous parasite warnings popups and falsified system scan results.

AntiAID is not able to detect or remove parasites from any computer so it should be considered useless. If you have AntiAID installed on your computer then it is recommended that you take immediate action to remove it before damages occur from its malicious actions.
