For example, when you visit a particular site .. no ads or popup warning that your computer is infected by virus. Well, to overcome the virus you are advised to buy a particular antivirus software. When in fact, you are so not anything computer. They only deceive and frighten you to want to buy the fake antivirus (scareware) is.
by Kristy Ross since 2000. He uses online advertising to make a warning, as if the user's computer a virus or malware.
To overcome this, they are advised to buy the software at a price ranging from $ 40 to $ 60. Of course this includes acts of fraud by way of scaring the victim. There are more than one million people are fooled and end up buying scareware with varying names such as WinFixer, WinAntivirus, DriveCleaner, ErrorSafe, even XP Antivirus.
