How is this malware? This is AV using ClamAV signatures and detecting only legit malware (and removing successfully). It is installed in %programfiles% just like any other legit software. I agree that it looks like a rogue and takes a great deal of resources during scanning, but I don't see how this could be classified as a rogue AV if it does what it claims and nothing else (even if it does not work as well as others). I had it pick up infections in my zip archives as well so it even scans zip files by default. It removed any infections found without asking for money or payment of any kind and can be removed completely using Add/Remove programs in Windows.

Connections point to: 207.57.106.31
which resolves to: hxxp://database.clamav.net (legit URL for ClamAV definition updates)

download size from hxxp://tech-ava-soft.org is ~53MB - hardly the size of a usual rogue dropper

I would not use it to protect my own PC but I would not say this is program has malicious intent. Please correct me if I am wrong.

EDIT: spelling

GUI, site, payement page remind alot the BestAV work.
anyway there is ethical issue if they use free ClamAV database to sell this.

The payment page used for Antivirus Security 2013 ( hxxps://tech-ava-soft.org:455/p/tn/ava/ ) shows boxshot of Avasoft Professional Antivirus. Maybe this Antivirus Security 2013 is used to reduce risk of payment shut down or to download for unhappy "customers" of APA. I do not see a way for many people to choose Antivirus security 2013 without looking info on Avasoft...

It's bascially half-legit.
Helps payment for FakeAV, but provides legit software. :o
The webpage also has a title 'AVASoft Professional Antivirus.
So Antivirus Security 2013 is only a 'cover-up'.
