Symantec writes in their blog about a rogue that pushes user to uninstall present antivirus protection. Rogue named as AnVi Antivirus shows a message about detected, uncertified antivirus software presence. Clicking on "ok" or "close" button (x on the top right corner of the window) triggers uninstall process of current antivirus protection by using that protection's own legit uninstaller.
At least solutions from Symantec, Microsoft, AVG, Spyware Doctor, and Zone Labs are detected by the pest. If any of these are present the pest will push user to uninstall.
