Do you know what AntivirusDoc is?

DESCRIPTION

AntivirusDoc or Antivirus Doc, is a bothersome rogue anti-spyware program that might make you want to pull your hair out. AntivirusDoc is known to be a clone of WinAntivirusPro 3.7 which just like AntivirusDoc, uses popups and alert messages as scare tactics to trick users into thinking that they are infected with other parasites.

AntivirusDoc may be installed onto computers through a Trojan file which is usually downloaded by means of a fake video codec download. AntivirusDoc may also be manually downloaded and installed directly from the AntivirusDoc.net website.

In non-techie terms: It is not advisable to visit AntivirusDoc.net because you may get more than you bargained for. Usually hackers create websites that promote the download and sell of rogue anti-spyware programs. AntivirusDoc does not â€œprovide you with the highest level of protection against malicious spyware and malwareâ€ like the AntivirusDoc.net website says it does. Do not download, install or purchase AntivirusDoc because you will only be wasting your time and money on a worthless program.
