Software Antivirus is not the kind of program which you should trust with your computer security. If you do so, you will not only be left with less money in your account, but also with a computer infected with system parasites. Software Antivirus pretends to be a real security application, it imitates system scans and displays pop-up messages warning about all kinds of infections and dangerous files being present in your system. However, none of this is true, Software Antivirus tries to scare the user so that they would purchase its fake security software.

Software Antivirus is promoted on several websites as a real security application and suggested for download and purchase, it may also be downloaded and installed by trojans without the user's notice. It is best to avoid surfing the web if you do not employ a reputable security tool or at least not to visit questionable websites.
