How does a fake Antivirus deceive computer users

How the anti-counterfeit technique spread on the internet. Trick used is quite simple.

True what is said by security researcher software. That many Internet criminals are using underground service. Like Crack search site software, network Peer to Peer - Torrent to Internet sites that distribute songs or video files. Some of them started bersembuyi behind the site.

The first step taken by fake antivirus software makers are making a surprise with the emergence of antiviral that you never installed directly on the monitor screen.

One of them appears on the browser software on screen, an example in the 2 images below. Shown as usual antivirus software that works, but it looks very fast do scaning as if he were checking the computer. Within seconds came a false warning that the computer had been infected by the virus.

Funny thing is a fake antivirus scanning display appears on the page the browser like Firefox. And simulate the appearance of Windows Explorer. Kind of funny, too, an antivirus scanning software can appear similar to Explorer.





 Display details as shown below

Fake antivirus software reported a virus in the computer there are 5. Even adding the Windows Security logo and name three folders and stated that there were viruses on the computer.




After a few seconds that seemed to trick the emergence process is doing a virus scan. Then ending up with a Pop Up (picture below) with a warning.

Look at the Theme being used, using the default standard of Windows XP. Though the setting is used Theme Original Theme with gray-colored bars. While the appearance of fake antivirus using the default Windows theme is blue.

Do not be surprised and panicked at the display screen as below. This is just to scare the victim who happened to be exposed to trap the fake antivirus warning.




If forwarded. After a while there is one more trap will come with a warning that states "your computer at risk Malware". Computer owner be required to click on the icon "OK"



After the "OK", is shown a display software to download, as pictured below

     * When you get a warning as above. No need to panic and tried to follow step the trap of fake antivirus appearance. Just close your browser.
     * Remember back a new site that you enter and estimate whether you are inadvertently carried away / redirected to weird sites. For example, a file download site, crack software or warez sites and so forth. And avoid returning to the site.
     * If you already display a warning, do not ever try to download the file requested. Because it will put you out for cleaning.
     * If you need to shutdown and restart your computer, if you feel less understood by the new attacks you experience.

If you adhere to the above step, the computer is expected to remain safe and not get caught by the fraud by Internet criminals
