Is Disk Antivirus Professional a Scam or Real?

Disk Antivirus Professional (Disk Antivirus Professional 3.7.25) is the latest fake AV we have detected in YooSecurity Labs. It tells there are critical disk errors and your computer is at high risk by showing you there are 38 infections or WARNING!38 infections found. Look what i found, 38 threats showed up 2 malicious programs, 26 viruses, 2 adware, 2 spyware. Disk Antivirus professional popped up and did the scan but you never downloaded that program. It is a classical example of a rogue anti-virus application that should be removed as soon as they are noticed on a computer system. The Disk Antivirus Professional virus is spread through free downloads throughout the Internet. They will hide this attack in video and audio downloadable files, freeware, shareware, and also email attachments. This is how most viruses are spread, and this one is no different. This is a perfect example of why users should not be trusting these file sharing sites, as they are usually set up and run by cyber criminals with the goal of accessing computers through virus attacks. All it takes is one wrong click and the computer can become infected. This fake application belongs to a family of viruses called Baravaix that are designed to look like genuine anti-virus applications when they are not. These fake security programs are designed to deceive the unsuspecting computer user into paying for something that they don’t need or that does not exist.

Disk Antivirus Professional is a scam-ware that scares the PC user into believing that their computer has been besieged by large quantities of malicious virus and threats. This it does by generating fake system scans and virus detected alerts. The fake application will reduce the speed and efficiency of the computer system to make the user really believe that they are under threat. The application can also be used by hackers to track your keystrokes and browsing history.

DiskAntivirusProfessional virus pops up on my windows OS. I exited out of the installation process, but I am not sure if my computer is infected with a virus or not. It was i opened my laptop telling me the DiskAntivirusProfessional has detected a couple of threats on it and its completely freaked down. It looks completely legit and even has a version number on it saying “Disk Antivirus Professional 3.7.25” I love in Monroe and I was looking at porn last night I’m 19 ifk if its real and I’m about to get arrested or if its fake,It says for child porn but I was looking at teens to be honest clicking away at links and links stupidly.

Once the PC user tries to use the application to clear off all the fake threats as claimed to be detected by the Disk Antivirus Professional rogue program, they would be directed to purchase a licensed version. The problem with this is that the application itself is faked and all the scans, alerts and reports are all fabricated. The application doesn’t have a virus database and so lacks the capacity to scan, detect or manage virus or other forms of malware. There is no licensed version and the aim of the application among other things is to scam the PC user into paying for what does not exist.
