The fake antivirus (also called Rogue Software) are fraudulent security programs which do the opposite of what is supposed.

What do they do?
Simulate that they analyze the system and display default infections we do not really have, to make users believe they are infected. In addition they request an amount of money to protect you.

How they appear?
They can appear in many ways; when you are browsing through a message, banners, pop-ups, in emails, inside other programs?

Recommendations:

• You should never install without checking by Internet, any software that you do not know.
• You must not click on any links you are not even sure and you do not know the sender.
• You ought to have a good Antivirus.
• You should have remote backups to ensure that the information is stored in another place to the real one.

You can find a large list of malicious programs, for example AdsZapper, Deus Cleaner, KillAllSpyware, Privacy Tools Pack, Virus Doctor.
