Security Antivirus

Security Antivirus is a fake anti-virus program and related to the creators of the rogue security application called Windows System Suite. Security Antivirus and Windows System Suite use the tactic of displaying fake Windows alerts that say either your system is infected with a virus or that your computer is not fully protected. Any of the alerts that come from Security Antivirus are bogus and nothing more than an attempt to make you purchase Security Antivirus. Purchasing Security Antivirus will not eliminate any threats or viruses on your computer. It would have only taken your money in return for a ineffective program called Security Antivirus.
