Antivirus.net may look like a legitimate antivirus program but in actual fact it is what's known as a Fake Anti Virus program. These fake anti virus programs are unfortunately becoming ever more present and people aren't as aware as they should be in order to protect their confidential information from being stolen. Fake anti virus programs are primarily designed to look like legitimate anti virus programs so that we then willingly hand over our credit card information to cyber criminals who will then use that to fund other criminal activities.
First of all there are a number of ways that your computer can contract such a virus, and one of the ways is either via spam emails, infected websites or infected links (either on websites or emails). Now unfortunately we can't keep our inbox free from spam and this is one of the ways that people allow viruses to install themselves on peoples computers. Another way which is more common is infected websites and links, now infected websites and links are more likely to be seen on adult websites and pornography websites (as 'Porn' is one of the top 3 Internet searches everyday it's not surprising).
When the infection has gained access to your computer it will then proceed to install itself and scatter numerous files all over your computer, which makes it increasingly difficult to remove. When the infection has successfully installed itself on your computer it wont be long before you notice the dramatic effects which begin to take hold, e.g. You will notice that all of the windows and programs that you have open will immediately close down and you will then notice an antivirus program will appear (which is the fake anti-virus infection). The program will appear to be scanning your computer and will always find 'viruses', trojans' and malware infections. This is one of the most important parts of the fake antivirus infection because it will say it has found numerous problems on your computer and you should purchase the full version of the program in order to remove the problems. This essentially is intended to remove any last minute doubt and so you will then proceed to purchase the upgraded version and willingly hand over your credit card details to these cyber criminals. Unfortunately people have fallen for this con and found out that nothing has actually happened so they have just been taken for fools.
