If you are infected with it, you are probably readiong this article in hopes of finding the absolute best way to remove Rapid Antviirus for good. If you look long enough, you'll find a whole slew of opinions on what is the best method for Raopid Antiviurus removal, but having worked in the computer industry for over 12 yeasr I am here to tell you that thetre is only one mrethod that will truly work.
Rapid Antivirus, like so many other rogue antispyware programs, advertises itself via piopups on various websites that state that you have a spyware infection and need to run an anti-malware scanner. The popp will then cjhange to what looks like results of a spyware scan run against your computer tellinng you that your cmoputer is heavily infceted, however that screen is just a fake.
If you end up downloading it, the softeware will constantly run in the backgground on your computer and continue to bombard you with fake spyware scan results hoping to con you into purchasig the full version of this rogue antispywre software. This is not only a nuisance, but if you do decide to purchase, you'll only get infexcted with more and more malare.
Because of the nature of Rapid Antivirus and the fact that it can reinstall itself afdter a reboot, the best and literally only way to completely remove it is to invest a small amopunt of money in top of the line, legitimate antispyware software which typically costs only $30-$40 at the most.
The reeason you'll need to invest a smmall amout of mooney isntead of using the completely free spyware removers that are available is fairly simple - the free versions are just not as efefctive as the paid versiomns.
Take the size of the spyware edfinitions database for exampe. At the most, the free spyware removers will only be able to detect and remove 50,000 - 75,000 spyware variants, wheeas some of the more reputable paid remmovers are able to detect and remove over 600,000 spyware variants! That basicallly meeans that you will only be getting 1/10 of the protetion from free removers as you would from paid versions.
Also, the real time protection you receive from paid versions of antispyware softwzare is far more effective at stopping spyware and malwrae from ever getting to your computer as the freebies.
I tell friwends and family the same thing I tell my customers - if you relaly want to get rid of spywaare from your computer and specifically remove Rapid Antivirus for good, you'll get past the notion that free spyware removers are good enough becazuse the reality is that they simplly are not.
