VirusTrigger claims that scans, detects and removes parasites on your system but it does not do any of that. If you have VirusTrigger installed then your web browser may be hijacked redirecting you to malicious sites like Virus-trigger.com that may push other rogue anti-spyware programs.
In non-techie terms:
VirusTrigger should never be downloaded, installed or purchased under any circumstances.
