AntiVermins
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antivermins is a spyware program that claims to be a commercial spyware-removal utility, when in fact it is, itself, adware-advertised. The software installs itself, without consent, in user's computers and registry. It then sends messages such as "system error, buy this software to fix" or "your system is infected with spyware, buy AntiVermins to clean it", redirecting the user to antivermins' homepage where he/she is prompted to buy the AntiVermins software for about $50. As for the homepage itself, for english users it seems like a professional page, but the page for spanish and french users (among others) appears to have been translated by poor-quality software.
There are many sites, found easily by a Google search, on how to remove AntiVermins and all of its corresponding registry values.
