Remove fake AVG Antivirus 2011 as a Long-Expected Adware

Trojans had been detected that performed redirection to the websites recognized as related to fake online scanners used to promote notorious Antivirus8 malware  before the release of adware to be considered below. However, those websites consisted of blank pages. This provided a clue that Antivirus8 developers were preparing another fake antispyware.
Get rid of AVG Antivirus 2011 as this is the adware promoted via the network  of above fake scanners. They are not blank currently and intensively advertised at third party websites and by several browser hijackers.
AVG Antivirus 2011 installation may be performed without user’s agreement after its components are uploaded, but the adware usually generates installation wizard and user’s participation is required to complete its installation in seemingly fair way.
The adware pops up alerts specific to particular threats or events and nag screens bearing its name in their header.  Nag screens are the same for any installation and alerts may vary on case-basis. The alerts notify of imaginary threats and attacks that actually have not occurred.
In order to perform AVG Antivirus 2011 removal and clean other infections get your PC examined by free scanner  and exterminate detected parasites. Relevant free scanner is available here
