AVOID USING FAKE ANTIVIRUS

-

When one day you find something strange on your computer and you think that there might be spyware or a virus, the most common decision is usually to search the Internet for a program to eliminate it. At the very least, we have tried to find out the name of such malicious software and search for information about it on the Internet. So far so good.

Fake antivirus
The problem is that it is very common to discover that the solution that appears in the first Google results is not the correct. Yes, you will see several blogs in which they tell you that the most evil and infectious virus in the world has gotten into you, but that they have the solution. Everyone tells you about a perfect anti-spyware that works to solve it.

After installing it on your PC, convinced that you have found the definitive solution, when you do the first scan, the anti-spyware tells you that you have 200-300 infections and that you have to solve it as soon as possible. If it is not a fake anti-spyware, you have come across a “fake” or a fake antivirus that gives false positives. What does this mean? We are talking about software that tells you that your computer has hundreds of infections, when most likely it is not.

Their objective is for you to download the program, either because it is another spyware, or because they want you to buy the antivirus at all costs, or simply, they will waste a lot of time and take up space on your computer until you remember to uninstall it. .

What Can We Learn From A Fake Antivirus?

1. When you think you have malicious software, find out first. Find out what his name is. You can use Windows Defender as a starting point, which is the same for that operating system, or the antivirus you have installed. When you know the name of the malware, you can remove it, and in case you can't, look for information about it. But be very careful; keep calm and go step by step.

2. Don't trust what all the blogs say. Yes, in this world there are many liars. And that two or three blogs repeat the same idea does not mean that it is true. Sometimes you write the name of a malware in Google and a lot of blogs come out telling you that the way to solve it is by downloading this or that antivirus. At the very least, fakes will waste your time.

3. Don't use unknown antivirus. It is only advisable to look for another antivirus in the event that you do not have one installed, or yours has not been able to eliminate the malware. Look for an updated and recognized antivirus that is not a fake or tries to deceive people by making them buy an antivirus to clean something they do not have.

4. Clean your browser. Sometimes it is not that you have a virus, but some uncomfortable extension has been installed in your browser. With your antivirus you will be able to clean the garbage that is in your browser, be it Chrome, Explorer or Firefox, and restore the configuration from the beginning.

5. Remove it manually, if you know. Some malicious programs can be removed manually by entering the program files, in case your antivirus software does not identify them. However, I do not recommend that you use this method if you are not familiar with your operating system, as you could unknowingly delete files from the system.

So, to stay safe from fake antivirus always check the antivirus name, its authenticity and how it works, than install it in your computer so that it can fight with all the odds present in your computer and gives you complete security from all the threats that can ruin your work or take away your personal information by entering in your computer.
