Disguised as anti-virus program, this malware attempts to mislead into thinking that your computer is infected with multiple viruses. Most of the time, the scareware enters computers via fake online virus scanners. If you happen to select one, a Trojan immediately creeps into your PC.

From then on, a malicious program starts automatically as soon as you start your PC and run a scan false. These fake scan all argue that the computer has serious security problems. Program offers a solution for you to buy the full version.

What this rogue also does is to make annoying pop-ups appear. Most of them state that: "Malicious program has been detected. Click here to protect your computer". All of these are only produced to make you believe you need to buy the fake anti-virus software and there is no real threat inside your machine.

Another trick that the malware used is to prevent malicious executables to launching. When you try to start a program, the rogue will display a message, claiming that the program is infected. Do not rely on these messages - they are all as fake as the program itself.
