SCAREWARE

I have cleaned lots of computers here in town and have included some screen shots of some of the programs that have been named scareware... due to the fact that they will attempt to scare the trusting computer user into believing it is a real program and if they purchase this program these scary crazy things their computer is doing will go away... however that is not the case.  Since these programs are the problem and not the solution and usually bring their friends to come live with them in your computer. This type of infection is becoming more common and brings with it not only the scare but other virus, trojan and spyware friends to visit.

As You Can See from this Screen Shot Why they named these SCAREWARE
Notice how this program looks really convincing that is legit.
The program will pop up notices on the tool bar that would scare the  beegeebies out of most pc users and make you want to run for the Lysol! This screen shot was done on April 16, 2009 notice the discovery date this scareware states the virus  was found on your computer... THREE MONTHS in the FUTURE!	wonder what comes down with the music and videos of of file shareing programs??
and ignore the first warning and another pops up
However, Run malewarebytes and it will tell the truth also notice it masks the antivirus on the computer to show all clear.	LimeWire downloads infected
OK now we know it is named PAV lets see when it came to live on this pc.
and how did we get there... This scareware was downloaded and installed into the PC. Notice the install_2003-2 file that is the scareware program in this PC that caused so many problems. I removed the problems from the PC.

Remember:  if you get a pop up that says your computer is infected use your cntrl alt delete keys and end task on the browser.  Also only install updates from the webpage that makes the product.
