You’re sitting in front of your desk and suddenly a program alerts you that you have a virus infection. Upon closer inspection, you see that Antivirus 7 was the one that gave the alert, but you don’t remember installing that program. What should you do?
Antivirus 7 is one of several fake antivirus software out there today. You don’t remember installing it because you didn’t - it was deposited by a Trojan that infected your computer. Ignore any alerts that it shows you and remove it as soon as you can. Don’t let this malware destroy your computer!
Rogue antivirus programs often prompt you to upgrade to a paid version of their application to clean any detected viruses. Don’t buy it since they will not give you anything in return. They will only deliver more malware to your computer and grab all your saved passwords, credit card information and other personal details. Some will even ask for more money after they clean your computer.
You can prevent your computer from being exploited by applications like these by installing an antimalware program from a reliable vendor. You should also download files from trusted sites and visit only legitimate websites.
