What do you do when an urgent message pops up on your PC saying you have a virus? The infection warning message might recommend you download a software package that looks legitimate; but it isn’t. This is a scam attempting to collect your money and personal and financial information.
Here’s your best defense against fake anti-virus software packages:
• Install a reputable anti-virus software package and only use it to scan your PC.
• Do not purchase anti-virus packages from a pop-up on your screen.
• Be very familiar with the way your anti-virus package looks and behaves.
Some great free antivirus programs are AVG and Microsoft Security Essentials.
