Surfing the Internet makes you vulnerable to all sorts of malicious program attack. A common scenario I experience is some web pop-up that falsely informs vulnerability to malicious programs and computer virus infection. It’s a consolation to the unsuspecting user to see these web pop-up messages as it offers a solution.

Warning, be careful when you’re up into this kind of web pop-up. Most of rogue antivirus product have been propagating this message on websites. This is to lure victims into clicking these pop-up messages which in turn installs some malicious software on the computer.

Fake antivirus products have devised an online customer support to make their product look more legitimate. The common response of this live technical support is to convince the user to buy some 30$ to $100 of product. It really sounds legitimate as there is this person that one could talk, which gives some assurance that the product being sold is legitimate.

The rogue antivirus software gives a false sense of computer security. Worst is sometimes these products lowers security settings on a victim’s computer. I have a friend that has clicked and fall into the trap ended up reinstalling Windows system. Next time you are faced with some annoying pop-up ads that says something is wrong your computer, think twice as it maybe a rogue antivirus product. Get the antivirus software from leading brands and IT shops that you could trust.
