Antivir is a clever and fake security application. Antivir, with the use of a computer Trojan horse parasite, is able to be installed onto a computer without the knowledge of the computer user. After the installation process of Antivir has taken place, it has been known to display several bogus popup warning messages. The popup messages will attempt to warn computer users of detected parasites which are in reality nonexistent on the computer. Antivir fabricates these messages in hopes that a user would purchase the full Antivir to resolve the issues of parasite infections. Little do many users know but Antivir is not able to detect and remove legitimate computer parasites.
