Be careful, the bad guys are really good at what they do! Fake virus protection is what they do best. |

Many of the websites and programs that promise virus protection do not have your best interests at heart. There is a category of software known as scareware or fake alert. These programs generally offer rapid, inexpensive and miraculous repairs. A great percentage of them are actually Trojan horses -- programs that claim to be helpful, but deliver a harmful payload. Generally, these are installed on your computer because of an unwise click, or via an operating system vulnerability. This payload starts to infect and scare you into paying to clean up troubles that did not initially exist. Sometimes, but not always, poor spelling and grammar are first clues to their destructive nature. Dire warnings, pop-ups, difficult to close windows and incredibly rapid virus scan times are often your final forms of evidence. Increasingly, publishers of this type software offer 800 telephone number support to add legitimacy.
Effective products and approaches to repair these troubles do exist. Before you consider paying for repair software, investigate reputable review sites to help confirm the legitimacy of your solution. It is always best for you to have your computer patched, backed up and well protected with authentic protection software to prevent these type of troubles.
