Anti VirusService (also searched for as Anti VirusService virus, Anti Virus Service) is a potentially unwanted program and application associated with the rogue Malware Protection Live program. Once installed it will create a folder called Anti VirusService at this path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Anti Virus Service.

Anti VirusService is not a program, process, or folder you want to find on your computer. It’s a rogue program and it bundles with other unwanted programs and malware. If you find Anti VirusService installed or created on your computer you may fall victim to various symptoms related to adware and spyware. Programs and other objects that bundle with Anti VirusService also introduce additional threats once they have been contracted.

Anti VirusService is promoted as a free anti-malware engine for your PC. It claims to leverage cloud based threat detection and daily definition updates to protect you from malware and potentially unwanted programs. Anti VirusService was promoted and introduced to us through illegal media files.

Anti VirusService and programs like it are usually contracted without knowledge. Anti VirusService is often bundled inside third-party software downloaders and bundlers. It may arrive on a computer system once other programs have been introduced to the machine. Software that Anti VirusService adware may bundle with includes freeware, shareware, and dubious torrent files.
