subject: A Threat For Your Pc: Antivirus Soft [print this page] Spyware are recent threats that can compromise the computer of any computer's users surfing regularly the Internet. With the present text, you will know more about those fake antivirus solutions. That includes Antispyware Soft. To begin, you should understand how such a threat can infect and compromise a computer system. You will find many websites over the Internet saying your computer is infected with different viruses, worms and more and claiming you have suspicious files on your computer. All you need to know is that all those websites do hide in reality compromised programs, also called malware.
These websites usually recommend you to immediately do a quick online scan of the PC and then install the antivirus tool that "experts" provide you with in order to clean the computer. At this point, it is enough for you to click the "Scan Now" button and Antispyware Soft starts its installation on the computer. So, the moment this "antivirus" is on your PC, the main method that those cyber-criminals will use to rob your money is to try to make you think your computer system is but highly compromised and that you do need a better protection with the full registered version of this program that you need to pay for.
In order to check if your computer is infected with Antispyware Soft or with other applications that are part of the same family of viruses, you can use the automatic tools that are available on the Internet and were specially created to deal with these kinds of problems. Because normal antivirus products won't detect such malware, so I can but recommend you to use such program.
If you want to, you can manually clean your PC from Antispyware Soft. I don't recommend this solution if you are inexperienced with computers. Because you can end up compromising even more your PC than actually cleaning it fully. So what you should have in mind regarding those malware is to be careful whenever you do surf the Web so you're not going to get infected by such a threat.
