Internet Antivirus Explanation

Internet Antivirus or InternetAntivirus, is a fake rogue program that claims to “Protect Your System with the Best Antivirus” according its website, www.internet-antivirus.com. We have determined that Internet Antivirus is totally bogus and does not protect your computer or remove parasites from your system.

After Internet Antivirus is installed it starts an automatic scan of your system displaying totally erroneous results trying to scare you into purchasing the Internet Antivirus program. Internet Antivirus makes you think that you must spend over $49 to remove parasites that it found from your system. Do not fall for that scheme. If you do then you would have wasted $49 and your valuable time. If you surf to certain websites Internet Antivirus stops you displaying a “threat of internet security” alert and you are not able to view your favorite website.

At times Internet Antivirus may display popup alerts even when you are surfing familiar websites. It is up to you to avoid falling in the trap of downloading or purchasing Internet Antivirus. Internet Antivirus may be know as Internet Antivirus, InternetAntivirus or www.internet-antivirus.com on the web.
