If You Need Expert Help we recommend you hire a Ninja! Ninja's are well trained in the art of virus removal and can remove all threats from your computer right now. See this Description: Wireshark Antivirus is a rogue antivirus program that uses the name of the well-known software company Wireshark™ to sell a fake program. Just like other fake antivirus applications, Wireshark Antivirus attempts to push the user into purchasing a software license to the software which does not help the user in any way. Wireshark Antivirus reaches user systems thanks to a Trojan that hides in malicious websites and then gets downloaded on to user computers when they visit the malicious websites. Once installed, Wireshark Antivirus will load itself up as a startup service with the help of the Trojan, and then it will proceed to perform a large number of fake antivirus scans on the user's system, subsequently reporting that there are a dangerous amount of viruses present on the user's computer. Wireshark Antivirus accentuates these claims with fake virus warning pop-ups that get generated from the Windows Taskbar. All these actions are aimed at tricking the user into paying for the 'full' version of Wireshark Antivirus by tricking them into believing that the currently installed 'trial' version of Wireshark Antivirus cannot remove the detected 'viruses' properly. However, you should always keep in mind that Wireshark Antivirus cannot remove any viruses from your computer under any sort of conditions.
