If user clicks on even one of those alerts, he will automatically download and install Virus Sweeper into his computer. The main goal of VirusSweeper is to display falsified alerts and to convince the user to buy a full version of this totally worthless application.

Once installed and active, Virus Sweeper is configured to run automatically every time computer starts up. Then it performs fake system scan and displays various bogus results.
