XJR Antivirus

A fake anti-spyware program much like many other dangerous rogue security applications propagating throughout the internet today, XJR Antivirus uses fear tactics to induce the user into purchasing a software license. A clone of the notorious rogue anti-malware program Your PC Protector, XJR Antivirus is heavily promoted online by fake websites which claim to scan the user’s computer and come up with a number of fake threat warnings. These websites urge the user to download a copy of XJR Antivirus. Once downloaded and installed on the user’s computer, this rogue software immediately establishes itself as a startup application, displaying numerous pop-ups claiming that the user’s computer is heavily infected with various viruses. It then tells the user to purchase the ‘full’ version of XJR Antivirus, claiming that the currently installed ‘trial’ version is incapable of cleaning out the fake ‘threats’. However, it should be noted that the ‘full’ version of this rogue software is no more capable of cleaning out your system than the ‘trial’ version, and under no circumstances should you allow yourself to be tricked into purchasing a license to the rogue software.
