It must be brand new, because when I Googled it on a different computer, there were 0 references to it, but checking back today, there are several articles. It called itself, "AVC Plus Win 7 Protection 2015". I got it by foolishly clicking on an email regarding "my recent Costco order". Since I do order from Costco on a regular basis, I thought it was a legitimate email. It rendered my computer completely useless! When I tried to launch Revo Uninstaller Pro to look for and remove it, it would not let me start the program, giving me an error message that the path was not valid, or something like that. I also was not allowed to start any virus or malware scanner on the computer, giving me the same message. I then realized that I was not allowed to launch ANY program on the computer... Word, Windows Media Player, etc., etc., giving me the same error message each time. As expected, I was also not allowed to launch the Control Panel to do a System Restore to an earlier time. I was able to get “AVC Plus Win 7 Protection 2015” off my computer by inserting the original Windows 7 operating system disc, restarting the computer, and booting from the CD/DVD drive. I then chose Repair, and “return the computer to an earlier operating state”. Everything went smoothly and the computer now works perfectly. I ran my malware and virus scanners and found nothing.
