Titan Antivirus 2013

What is Titan Antivirus 2013?

Titan Antivirus 2013 is a rogue antivirus program, which reports non-existent security infections in order to scare PC users into purchasing a 'full version'. This program is developed by cyber criminals with the aim to extort money from computer users.

This fake antivirus program is commonly distributed via 'exploit kits', which infiltrate users' computers through any security vulnerabilities detected within outdated software. Exploit kits are proliferated by infected email messages, malicious websites, and drive-by downloads.

After Titan Antivirus 2013 successfully infects the user's operating system, it imitates a legitimate antivirus program by 'scanning' the system for malware and viruses. Note that this program is fake and has no virus definition database - it merely relies on fake security scans and fake security warning pop-ups in order to trick computer users into buying the registration key.

PC users should be aware that buying this bogus software is equivalent to sending their money to cyber criminals, and furthermore, they will divulge their banking information, potentially leading to further money thefts from their credit card accounts. This rogue software originates from a family of fake antivirus programs called FakeRean.

Note that a previous variant from this family was named PC Defender 360. Titan Antivirus 2013 is fake software created with the sole purpose of stealing your money - do not trust this program, it is a scam.

Titan Antivirus 2013 is merely an imitation of a genuine antivirus program. This rogue software mimics the detection of identical 'security threats' on computers infiltrated. The best way to protect your computer from such bogus programs is to keep all installed programs (Flash, Java, etc.) up-to-date and use legitimate antivirus and anti-spyware programs.

Computer users who have already purchased this rogue program, should immediately contact their credit card companies and dispute the charges, explaining that they have been tricked into buying a fake antivirus program.

If you observe Titan Antivirus 2013 'scanning' your computer for security infections, do not trust the program, it is a scam. The correct way to deal with it, is by removal from your PC.
