Description:

Vista Security 2012 is a fake antivirus program which infects your computer and tries to force you to buy it. Vista Security 2012 pretends to scan your computer for viruses then claims to find various infections. If you accept to remove the alleged infections, you are directed to their payment page in order to purchase the full version.

The fact that Vista Security 2012 arrives at your computer without your knowledge makes it also a trojan. In order for Vista Security 2012 to stop you from removing it, it attempts to disable your existing antivirus and antispyware programs and to block access to help forums and to major name brand antispyware and antivirus vendor websites.

Vista Security 2012 is normally installed by means of a trojan or by drive-by downloads from rogue websites. In some cases, it can be mistakenly downloaded from one of many fraudulent Fake Scanner Sites.

Vista Security 2012 displays exaggerated fake scan results similar to those shown below:
