How to remove Ghost Antivirus

Ghost Antivirus description

Ghost Antivirus is a new fraudulent program created by the same people who made Internet Antivirus Pro malware. The scam is promoted on large variety of counterfeit websites. Those are masked as either online scanners or as legitimate software download centers. Some of those websites may even install GhostAntivirus secretly.

Ghost Antivirus uses deceptive ways to make people pay $94.95 for a license of the program. It displays counterfeit security alerts. It also causes various other problems and then it offers fixing them after a victim gets the “full version”. Ghost Anti Virus blocks legitimate security programs and Windows Task Manager to prevent the removal. It also terminates Explorer.exe; this makes it difficult to boot into normal mode of Windows operating system.
