AntiVirus is a ransomware program that is promoted through fake online scanners. Once installed AntiVirus will not allow you to run certain programs that include Internet Explorer, Notepad, Windows Media Player, and Task Manager. When you try to run these programs you will receive a message stating, with its spelling mistakes, that the "File is infected and CANNOT be exececuted". In order to clean these supposed infections you would need to send $5 dollars to the malware writers whose email is goldenpayments2010@yahoo.com. Once you send the money they will send you an activation key that will remove certain Windows Registry entries that will allow you to use these programs again. Please note that there is absolutely nothing wrong with your programs and you do not have any infections other than the AntiVirus program itself. The program is only trying to ransom your computer's proper operation so that you pay the $5 dollars.
