“Have you noticed changes in your browser settings even if you can’t remember changing them yourself? Do annoying commercials appear too often while you browse? When did these abnormal things start making themselves known? [W]as it after you downloaded and installed Green Anti-virus 2009? If you have downloaded and installed Green Anti-virus 2009, I am sure that by now you are already experiencing the symptoms I have mentioned above. Green Anti-virus 2009 or Green AV is a rouge anti-spyware that does the very opposite of what a normal anti-virus does. Instead of cleaning your system, it infects it.

Green AV is a malware that can hide in the background and could connect to the [I]nternet without your permission. The extent of what it can do is not exactly known, but the possibility of it compromising your online security is of course very high.”
