Surely that teacher/professor had to give some kind of clarification of what "General Purpose" means...

Another suggestion maybe Norton Anti-virus, pretty popular and useful, used to protect PCs from viruses, scan incoming and outgoing e-mails...

if you want to get really general purpose, you can talk about windows and/or linux.
