There is no Windows task bar and you can’t do anything in Windows. You get the past the Windows splash screen and all you see is the fake program which will only let you click the “buy now” button. Originally these scams would simply pop up messages every thirty seconds, making it difficult to continue with whatever you were doing, however an increasing number are taking over the computer as soon as you log on. If the victims are lucky, they may be sent a completely worthless activation code after the payment have gone through but all of them are left out of pocket, with a fake program that continues to tell them to purchase the full version to remove their infections. While computersavvy users will see through this right away, many are frightened by what this these programs “find” on their computer and purchase it, which is the it is often called “scareware”. While fake security software looks like the genuine article, the fake software generates messengers every 30 seconds telling the user their system is compromised by an infection which the fake software will gladly “remove” if the user purchases the full version.
With the number of fake security software rising each day, scammers are getting more aggressive in their attempts to scam people out of their money.
