Antivirus 360 Explanation

Antivirus 360 is a fake anti-spyware application that should not be confused with Norton 360. By now you may know that Norton 360 is a security tool sold online and in stores for your computer security needs. Antivirus 360, on the other hand, is a fake security tool that should not be used for cleaning parasites off of your computer or fix security issues as it claims that it does.

Antivirus 360 is just like a broken Xbox 360, completely useless and a waste of money if you purchase it. Antivirus 360 may come from the infamous Trojan Zlob. If this is the case then Antivirus 360 may be installed onto your system from a malicious website without your knowledge. That can be a major pain in the butt if you are working on your computer for weeks and later find out that you have this spyware parasite on your system. Think of all of the damage that could have occurred in that short amount of time.

DO yourself a great big favor and remove Antivirus 360 as soon as you can. Don’t make the mistake of purchasing Antivirus 360 because you will be throwing your money away.
