How to Disable Counterfeit Security Scanners
The counterfeit security scanners are displayed by fake anti-virus and anti-spyware programs. These applications generate misleading messages that resemble system scan results of legit computer-protection programs. The scanners show viruses found on your hard drive and urge you to purchase the advertised program to remove the found threats. However, the advertised programs along with the displayed messages are fake. The whole purpose of spyware applications like these is to trick inexperienced users into purchasing worthless software. There are various fake anti-spyware and anti-virus infections flooding the Internet and new ones appear every day. This is why having a spyware-removing tool is essential to disable and remove the counterfeit security scanners.
