The Woes of Malware
by Chuckposted: 03/11/2010 | Category: Virus/Spyware, Windows We are seeing more and more Windows PCs getting infected with fake antivirus malware each week. The number of these "extortion-based" malware apps is steadily increasing and are become more aggressive in their capturing of infected computers to the extent that most systems cannot even access programs or Internet. And most times these infections lay dormant for days before taking over your system, so it makes it difficult to narrow down what website it may have come from. If your system becomes infect with some version of this type of malware, please take it to your computer service center as soon as possible to prevent the malware from spreading. Also, just because your system got infected does not mean that you antivirus/antispyware software is not working (as long as it is up-to-date). You must remember that antivirus/antispyware vendors have to know a specific infection exists before a fix can created and distributed. So, it is still possible to get infected with new, unknown malware. Surf the Internet with care. |
