Google has warned THE INTERNET to take care for phony anti-virus software. The purpose is that malicious software makers have started “hiding” malware inside software that seems to be anti-virus software. But it’s not anti-virus software!
Google says that 15 percent of all malware is hidden inside these fake anti-virus applications.
The other harmful thing is that most of these fake applications were delivered via advertisements. Your computer will get infected once you are clicking ads that lead you to download tainted software. Don’t use AdBlock anymore, but can’t still forecast a situation when someone is searching for what he don’t know. Like “AVG”, then click an ad for anti-virus software.
At present era user should use his common sense when surfing the Web. It doesn’t take too much effort to stay safe out on Internet.
