Beware of Fake Antivirus Programs
March 9, 2009 – 7:50 amSince the evolution of the Internet, people have gone wild about “Technology”, but with every great thing comes some type of problem. Viruses over the last few years have become more frequent to the point that it becomes overwhelming to IT personnel such as Desktop Technicians and Network Administrators. The viruses have been known to shut down entire companies due to their very aggressive nature of wiping data files, etc. One of the most common types that more frequently attack home users is what we call “Rogue Software”. This software will use false positives to convince a user that their computer has been infected with a virus and then demands money in order to remove it. In some extreme cases, the threats are the very Trojans that advertise or directly install the rogue. This typ of Trojan is called a Zob Trojan. Here are just a few of the Rogue type software installs that your computer may suffer from: Antivirus 2007-2009, Antivirus 360, Virus Trigger, Spyware Guard 2008, WinDefender 2009, Personal Defender 2009, Antivirus Sentry just to name a few.
