General Antivirus - Misleading Application

General Antivirus is a corrupt anti-virus program, because of its inability to deal with computer viruses and malicious objects that may be posing serious risks. General Antivirus is also known as a scareware, because of its deceitful computer scanner, which results in false virus detections, thus making user believe that the computer system is infected.

General Antivirus is configured so that the scanner starts each time computer is started and Windows OS is booted. During the scan process a number of virus-like titles will appear in the report, thus warning user that threats have been found on the computer. This is an effective way to persuade user that the machine is at risk, at the same time suggesting General Antivirus as anti-virus tool to solve computer security problems, which were allegedly found by the program itself.
