Crusader Antivirus description
Crusader Antivirus (a.k.a. Spyware Crusader) is a rogue anti-spyware which infects the system with the help of trojans distributed through the fake security websites advertising this malware. When such a website is visited it usually promotes the program as a legitimate security program and tricks the user into downloading it.
Once on the system Crusader Antivirus starts using your system’s recourses and reduces the computer’s performance. It also displays annoying pop-up messages about the non-existing security threats, and performs numerous false system scans imitating to find various viruses and parasites. This is done only to force the user into buying the ‘full version’ of Crusader Antivirus software. However, even when it is purchased and installed the software does not remove the threats (which were not real in the first place) and it definitely does not work as a system security tool. Please do not download, install or buy the Crusader Antivirus or Spyware Crusader applications. If, you however, already have it on your computer, it is strongly advised to remove it as soon as possible.
