When Eco Antivirus starts operating, it creates fake scans and displays fake alert messages or false scan reports which claim: "Your computer is infected." These tactics are used to scare you. Do not let Eco Antivirus convince you to spend money and have Eco Antivirus terminated immediately.

    Thank you so much for this removal sequence! I followed your instructions and I think Eco Antivirus is all gone. I've run several various Searches and can't find a thing with "Eco" in it. I think the tip about the HKEY was the best part. I'm normally so good about these false virus scans, but Eco got me last week while I was sick and just browsing the 'net. I thought it was a Windows function, and my head wasn't clear enough to think about it. It's been disrupting my internet functions for days, and now I think it's all gone. Thank you SO much! 🙂

    I got the Eco Anti Virus 2010. I've done everything that everyone has said to do. I tried the manual ways & the downloads. My probloam is the Eco Virus doesn't show up as a virus or malware ..... So it's not being detected by anything. It pops up every 2 minutes. I'll pay for your product if I know for sure it'll get rid of it. There's zero detection in the Registry Keys or any files, but it's definately there. Can u help me? Thanks!
