Virus Doctor description

Virus Doctor Freeware (or simply VirusDoctor) is yet another rogue security program. It is presented as anti-virus application while it promotes a scam. Once it is installed on a computer, Virus Doctor reports enormous amounts of viruses and security breaches in order to push people into purchasing full version of the tool. The scam is not really hidden deep: the alerts are fabricated and there is no full version. The only real things are the slow computer, the hijacked web browser and the money missing from your bank account. Do not trust Virus Doctor!
