AntiVermins is a rogue security program that claims to be a commercial spyware-removal utility, when in fact it is, itself, adware-advertised. The software installs itself, without consent, in the user's computer and registry. It then sends messages such as "system error, buy this software to fix" or "your system is infected with spyware, buy AntiVermins to clean it", redirecting the user to the software's homepage where he or she is prompted to buy it for about $50.
