Anti-Malware Lab, a Rogue Anti-Malware Program That Runs a Fake System Scan to Intimidate Windows Users

Have you been getting alerts from an unknown app called Anti-Malware Lab? Well, if so, don’t allow yourself to be fooled by the authentic-sounding name. Anti-Malware Lab is actually a rogue anti-malware application. These types of programs purport themselves to be real anti-malware utilities to trick victims into buying them. Anti-Malware Lab’s user interface even goes far enough to mimic the interfaces of familiar Windows virus and malware scanners.

Anti-Malware Lab, a Rogue Anti-Malware Program That Runs a Fake System Scan to Intimidate Windows UsersHow Does Anti-Malware Lab Infect Your Computer?What Other Programs are Associated with Anti-Malware Lab?How Do I Remove Anti-Malware Lab from my PC?

If downloaded and installed, Anti-Malware Lab will perform a bogus system scan and begin to send you alerts claiming that the computer is infected with malware. It will then ask you to buy the full version of Anti-Malware Lab to get rid of the non-existent infections. Don’t allow yourself to fall for it, as Anti-Malware Lab is nothing but a rogue anti-malware program.

How Does Anti-Malware Lab Infect Your Computer?

Most often, victims of Anti-Malware Lab are themselves responsible for downloading the app. This is achieved via social engineering, and hackers exploit typical human behaviors to deliver unwanted software. Additionally, the program may also be delivered by a Trojan. Trojan downloaders often take advantage of security vulnerabilities in Flash and JavaScript, fake video codec downloads, or could disguise themselves as popular downloads on file-sharing networks to infiltrate rogue programs and other malicious programs.

What Other Programs are Associated with Anti-Malware Lab?

There is a multitude of phony anti-malware programs that are associated with Anti-Malware Lab. Most are clones of this rogue security tool, and they include Virus Melt, Extra Antivirus, Windows Security Suite, Windows Protection Suit, Smart Virus Eliminator, Volcano Security Suite, among others.

Virus Melt, Extra Antivirus, Fast Antivirus 2009, Windows Security Suite, Windows Protection Suite, Smart Virus Eliminator, Volcano Security Suite, Windows Enterprise Suite, Enterprise Suite, Additional Guard, PC Live Guard, Live PC Care, Live Enterprise Suite, Security Antivirus, My Security Wall, CleanUp Antivirus, Smart Security, and Windows Work Catalyst.

You should disregard any warnings from Anti-Malware Lab or any of the previously mentioned associated programs because they are most likely to introduce fictitious and misleading information. Also, do not delete any files that are reported by Anti-Malware Lab as infected. Quite likely, these files may be completely harmless or are essential files necessary for your operating system’s smooth performance.

How Do I Remove Anti-Malware Lab from my PC?

Anti-Malware Lab does not make it easy for you to remove its components. We suggest the use of a legitimate anti-malware tool to remove Anti-Malware Lab. Additionally, reports advise to use the registration code U2FD-S2LA-H4KA-UEPB to stop Anti-Malware Lab from sending you its fake alerts. This, however, will not remove the threat from your computer and will only stop most of the rogue program’s annoying pop-up alerts.
