According to report from Symantec, tens of millions of U.S computers are running a fake security software which they have either paid for or have downloaded for free. These softwares make its way into the computer system by fake virus alert which has been planted by the cyber thieves.
“Lots of times, in fact they’re a conduit for attackers to take over your machine,” said Vincent Weafer, Symantec’s vice president for security response.
“They’ll take your credit card information, any personal information you’ve entered there and they’ve got your machine,” he said, referring to some rogue software’s ability to rope a users’ machine into a botnet, a network of machines taken over to send spam or worse.
