Information about A-fast Antivirus

A-fast Antivirus is a rogue program that attempts to convince computer users to be able to protect computer from viruses. Unfortunately, the reality is different and A-fast Antivirus has nothing in common with a legitimate antispyware tool. It is just one more infection that spreads on computers by employing Trojan viruses and later attempts to rip computer users off.

When A-fast Antivirus is infiltrated into the system, it enters Windows Registry and modifies some entries there. After these modifications are done, A-fast Antivirus is able to display tons of pop up ads warning about infections detected. Every such security notification ends with a suggestion to purchase A-fast Antivirus. Here is how these notifications look like:
