New Rogue: SafePcAV

SafePcAV — a February 2010 WiniGuard-family rogue clone that spreads via fake online scanners and demands payment to “clear” invented infections.

SafePcAV is another clone from the creators of the rogue antispyware WiniGuard. Same family, new name — continuing the rebrand pattern covered in The biggest rogue family.

It typically spreads via fake online scanners. Once installed it shows hundreds of false infections and demands payment to “remove” them. Licensing does not make the machine safer.

Do not buy it. If it is installed, follow the Malware Removal guide for Windows.
