Barracuda Antivirus
Posted June 9, 2009
Barracuda Antivirus is another fake antivirus program that wants to scam you out of your money.
Barracuda Antivirus is trying to get you to confuse it with the legitimate Barracuda Networks antivirus hardware which is designed for servers.
Barracuda Antivirus will run a fancy looking security scan on your computer and tell you about all the nasty infections you have on there. Barracuda Antivirus doesn’t really scan your hard drive, you are just looking at an animation. This means that all those infections Barracuda Antivirus “found” are fake
There are no removal instructions yet for Barracuda Antivirus so in the mean time, follow these instructions:
