Rogue hoax antivirus program infects a computer - videotaped as it happened

RogueRogueRogueRogue

Some websites are purposely designed to trap visitors into installing malware, adware or spyware. Even well-known websites can have poor or temporary lapses in security that allows such scams to run amuck. My video shows a common type of malware that supposedly initiates a scan for viruses. However, it is simply an animation but it can take temporary control of the browser. Its goal is to bluff you into downloading a false or ineffective antivirus/antispyware program and then hopefully getting you to pay a fee. My video shows you what can happen and also how to fix the problem--if it is not too late!
