Barracuda Antivirus

The rogue anti-virus product Barracuda Antivirus is designed with the intent of taking money from gullible computer users while Barracuda Antivirus pretends to be a helpful anti-malware application. Barracuda Antivirus doesn't have the ability to detect or remove infections as it claims and is commonly reported to infect computers through Trojans. Removing Barracuda Antivirus is necessary if you value the long-term health of your computer, since the rogue anti-virus product's presence can result in harm to your system and excessive use of resources that may cause instability.

How This Barracuda Bites

Barracuda Antivirus has been reported to be around since 2009, but possible updates to this rogue scanner may have altered Barracuda Antivirus enough for older security software to have difficulties destroying Barracuda Antivirus. The infection rates tend to point to Russia as Barracuda Antivirus's birthplace, and frequent P2P file sharers may want to exercise caution around file sources from that area.
 
Although Barracuda Antivirus can be downloaded from Barracuda-antivirus.com or other sources by users unaware of its true nature, Barracuda Antivirus's also commonly spread through Trojans. Trojans such as variants of Vundo will try to infect your system without giving themselves away, and then persuade you to install Barracuda Antivirus or similar rogue anti-virus software. This is usually done through fake Windows error messages that pop-up from the taskbar.
 
Avoiding the so-called error message's instructions to install an unknown program and reboot your computer can restrain you from getting to deal with the Barracuda Antivirus infection. Even in this ideal situation, you'll still need to use the appropriate software and tactics to delete the rogue-carrying Trojan, or you may experience repeated incidents or further problems.

A Predator for Your Computer Instead of the Malware

Barracuda Antivirus uses tried and true rogue anti-virus software techniques to panic and disorient the user, being little different from other rogue scanners like Antivirus System Pro. Your system resources will be sucked up by the presence of Barracuda Antivirus, which is made worse by the fact that Barracuda Antivirus will run automatically and not allow you to turn Barracuda Antivirus off. Barracuda Antivirus will create many different dangerous-sounding error messages while active, but these are all just as irrelevant and deceitful as the messages delivered by the earlier Trojan. Barracuda-antivirus.com will also insist on scanning your computer frequently, but this process is just a show with no actual scanning going on behind the scenes. Other reasons to treat this rogue anti-virus product as a hostile threat and delete Barracuda-antivirus.com immediately include:

• Barracuda-antivirus.com will interfere with the proper startup of your computer and may disallow the use of your desktop temporarily or permanently.
• Barracuda-antivirus.com is likely to block important Windows maintenance programs as well as anti-malware diagnostics software.
• Barracuda-antivirus.com's presence will hinder your ability to deal with other malware infections, both ones related to Barracuda-antivirus.com and ones separate from it.
• Barracuda-antivirus.com has been reported to be a browser hijacker - Barracuda Antivirus will redirect you away from safe websites towards dangerous ones that serve as gateways for extortion and other illegal activities

.

• Paying for Barracuda-antivirus.com has no benefits, since the rogue anti-virus program will still be harming.
