Winantivirus2007
Drive by installs malware

I recently had the extreme misfortune of being infected with the winantivirus malware. A popup appeared and when I clicked X in the dialog box the program installed itself without my knowledge or consent. The next day it took my PC 15 minutes to boot and I knew I was in trouble. After trying most of the tools available I finally had to have my hard drive cleaned and lost several days of work as a result. After some research I found that 2 persons James Reno of bytehosting and billingnow and Marc Cohen of vipfares are two of the major people involved in the distribution of this malicious malware. I found out too late that the only defense against the drive by download is to disconnect from the internet when the win popup appears. Under no circumstances would I pay the ransom they wanted ($39.95) for my hijacked computer. Do not buy this product under any circumstances! It is spyware masquerading as an anti spyware program.
