Virus Removal Guide
Virus Removal Guide:
Most dodgy programs pose as a valid application. They use strong sales tactics to make you purchase their fake products. These programs include adware and Trojans. They display fake security alerts so that you buy their software. This is known as deceptive advertising (the use of malware to sell the software).
A common method by these programs is to display fake results when the program scans your computer. When the scan is finished you will be shown a list of fake viruses and threats. Our advice is to stay away from those programs and do not spend your hard earned cash on these applications!
Another common tactic is to advertise, or even directly install itself, through the use of malware. These programs are typically installed automatically on your computer if you visit a dodgy site. In some cases it is automatic, and in other cases an executable file must be run. Either way, the computer will have malware installed that prompts you to install another rogue program, to remove it.
