Remove General Antivirus

If you are a regular computer user and have little idea about spyware and other malware then you might know that the General Antivirus is a very nasty spyware which can almost damage your computer. Once it sneaks into your computer it will start performing fake scans and show the fake results of these scans. The sole intension of the hackers who craft this nasty program is to scam the money of the innocent computer users. It uses a logo which is almost similar to Microsoft. But the most dangerous thing is that it takes partial control over your browser and redirects you to malicious websites. It also downloads some malicious codes that steal all your personal online information and put your online identity at risk.
