ntiVirus is a rogue "Virus Removal" application. It's designed to "fix Viruses" that cause PC instability and vulnerability. However, the developers of this program have a LONG history of un-ethical tactics to acquire their customers. Once their spyware is installed on your pc, you're plagued with irritating false 'Windows-Like' popups. These popups are irritating by design.... they hope to frustrate into shelling out $50 to buy WinAntiVirus 2006 to remove it.
These are usually anti-spyware or security software applications that use either various forms of deception and/or unethical means or show a history of negligent false positives to goad the end user to make a purchase.
In some cases these applications maybe downloaded with some form of unwanted software at which point the rogue application is offered to the customer as a way to remove the unwanted software.
