Personal Antivirus is a rogue anti-spyware created by company named Innovagest 2000 and is a clone of General Antivirus and Internet Antivirus Pro. This program is advertised through the use of Trojans that display fake security alerts on your computer. These alerts will contain messages stating that your computer is under attack or that malware has been detected running on your computer. When you click on these alerts, Personal Antivirus will be installed on your computer and automatically be configured to run when you start Windows. When running, it will scan your computer and display a variety of infections that cannot be removed unless you first purchase the program. In reality, though, these infections are all fake and are only be shown to scare you into purchasing the program. Please bring your computer in to My IT Solutions and we can remove this for you. Just ask for a virus cleaning!

When switching from dial-up to high speed internet, your computer becomes more vulnerable both to remote attacks and to viruses, adware, and spware. This is due to the always-on nature of DSL and the speed of the connection, which simply allows for more browsing (which means more exposure to the web), and also for things to download and install faster, to the point that you hardly notice them.
