AntiMalware comes from a group of hackers who also developed and marketed the fake security program called Active Security. AntiMalware cannot detect or remove spyware despite what it may claim to be able to do.
Once AntiMalware is installed onto your computer, you may start getting annoyed at the many fake system alerts that come across your screen in addition to the fake system scan results that it displays. AntiMalware should never be treated as a legitimate security tool. Purchase of AntiMalware is not recommended either because the full version of AntiMalware is just as ineffective as the free edition.
Are you getting popups from AntiMalware? Have you identified that you have AntiMalware installed on your computer? Do you wish to remove AntiMalware completely from your computer?
