Is virus protect a real anti virus?

Hi, I donloaded and paid for an "anti virus" called virus protect.
It doesn't seem to do a lot and also on some file belonging to it, it only
talks about adult sites.
Thank you for a few answers.

Lesson learned? Research before you spend your money, not after.

They got you.
If you used your credit card to purchase it (and if you care), call your
credit card company and ask them to send you another card with a different
number.

Do you really want to trust someone that was banned from posting
directly to Microsoft Usenet servers, someone that has posted links to
pornographic materials on HIS WEBSITE, who's website is in the MVP HOST
Block list?
