Virus is back on my computer AGAIN!

[Amaris]

Antivirus 2009 for example, likes to zip around on ad hosts unsuspecting. Legitimate sites get this "ad" and then you've got a POS infecting your computer.

And yet every time that I've ever seen a PC infected with antivirus 20XX it has been somebody who doesn't know much about computers and they were tricked into installing it of their own free will. I have never known anybody that knows about computers who has been infected with it, and if anybody does get infected with they just need to install Malwarebytes and let it do its thing. It is not a serious concern.

Edit: I'm not saying that the average computer user doesn't need anti-virus protection, they certainly do, but if you are what would pass for a computer "expert" you're a) not likely to get infected and b) you'll know what to do to get rid of the infection quickly.

And yet I have known them. It happens.
