Posted on October 17, 2008 by admin
According to the service IDG.pl and PandaLabs (laboratories of Panda Software) recently over 30 millions of computer users have fallen a victims to the fake anti-virus software. The fake anti-virus software can exist either as a independent application or the java applets activated by the users after getting the fake popup virus alert on the website that warns them that viruses or trojans were detected and immediate installation of anti-virus software is required. The biggest hoax is the fake anit-virus software offered for sale.
Luckily most of the viruses are not targeting Mac, though according to IDG.pl and Sunbelt Software there is one fake anti-virus software for Mac called MacGuard.
