What is Internet Antivirus?
Once inside and active, InternetAntivirus will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform the user of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. While this information may coincidentally be true, Internet Antivirus has neither the ability to detect nor remove any of these "threats".
Internet-antivirus.com - the home of this scam - makes it more than evident that it is indeed a fake: there is no useful information provided, no contact details and the domain is registered in China - a country notorious for cyber-crime. InternetAntivirus may also redirect web browser to avmyscan.com or some other fake security center. Remove Internet Antivirus and browser hijacker will be gone as well.
InternetAntivirus is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it's homepage using your HOSTS file.

Internet Antivirus is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only Internet Antivirus can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads Internet Antivirus trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, Internet Antivirus offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, Internet Antivirus not only does not fix the errors, but it takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.
Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as Internet Antivirus, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install Internet Antivirus, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as Internet Antivirus, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
