Scareware Clean Up and Scareware Removal in Dayton Centerville, Ohio
- Scareware is the new term for
the "False Security" Pop-Up
Messages that you may receive
while browsing the internet
- The first sign of the pop-up
itself has done no damage to your computer yet, it is not until you click
on the pop-up that it then installs the 'virus' that will begin to do
damage to your computer
- Damage to your computer
includes (but is not limited to) disabling your real AntiVirus,
disabling your Firewall, disabling your Internet Explorer - all the while
trying to get you to send them your credit card number to purchase 'their'
solution
- The best prevention is that
you DON'T CLICK ON THE POP-UP
when it comes up, we are not even sure that clicking the X in the upper
right hand corner of the window is ok,
Blocking Pop-Ups on your Computer
might keep you from getting
these to begin with.
- If you have one of these
pop-ups appear, you can open Task Manager and then 'End' all Internet
Explorer application tasks to make it go away / or simply Restart your
computer - do either of these methods without clicking on the Pop-Up in
any way!
- Shown below are the many
varieties of Scareware that have been found

or performance tools that look like a standard Microsoft Windows
alert

dialogs from within the browser

reputable sources
- Keep software and security patches up to date
