ExtraAntivirus malware - double impact

ExtraAntivirus (Extra Antivirus) is known to us as two different programs. It is a rare case of coincidence when two different rogue antispyware programs share one and same denomination. More common is situation when essentially one and same program has several names. One of the programs named ExtraAntivirus belongs to the Virus Sweeper family of rogue antispyware, another one is of the same origin with such notorious rogues as MS Antispyware 2009 and P Antispyware 09.
For general users, it is important to know that ExtraAntivirus removal is a complex task in case of both variation of the malware, because both programs apply several techniques to avoid their deinstallation, but is a msut for those who want their computer system to operate duly or at least to survive, as well as for those who dislike annoying ads. ExtraAntivirus of Virus Sweeper family is installed usually from Google Code service manually as users trust in luring ads by ExtraAntivirus, though its shadowed instillation with trojanis is also possible. ExtraAntivirus of MS Antispyware 2009 family is mostly advertised at the websites pretending to be online scanners by ExtraAntivirus. These websites are supported by misleading links disguised as banners sponsoring different sorts of websites and by browser hijackers. Remove ExtraAntivirus regardless of its variant, for that is always malware that slows computer down and produces annoying ads. Failure to get rid of ExtraAntivirus, especially in case of ExtraAntivirus of MS Antispyware 2009 family, may lead to overloading of the computer system with annoying ads and to the permanent freezes and newly entered data losses.
