ScreenshotGhost Antivirus is a rogue anti-spyware program that has an objective of taking your money in exchange for useless software. A legitimate application with the same name does exist, so do not be confused. Ghost Antivirus will attempt to convince you to purchase the full version of Ghost Antivirus to "fix" your computer. Ghost Antivirus comes from the same family of rogues as Internet Antivirus Pro, and should not be trusted. Ghost Antivirus may slow the performance of your system while display multiple popup messages that can be very annoying to any computer user. If Ghost Antivirus has been installed on your system, it is recommended that you use an effective spyware scan program to detect and remove Ghost Antivirus immediately.
