Antivirus 2009 or Antispyware 2009

The case of fake virus warning by “Antivirus 2009″ or “Antispyware 2009″ is rampant these days. I was aware of these fake Infection warnings since last year when I opened one of the video sharing sites on the net. I was surprised how it popped up on my screen out of nowhere. My pc got infected by it.  Out of ignorance, I clicked the exit button. But it did not go away. I should not have done it. I could have prevented it by bringing up the Windows Task Manager which is Ctrl-Alt-Del and closed my browser. At that time I was really disappointment with my antivirus. But I guess, this virus is pretty strong. Actually, this fake antivirus was created to get you to install and buy it. A lot of people fell for this dirty scam antivirus, while the criminals are making money. If you see fake antivirus, do not click on the popup window like I said, do Ctrl-Alt-Del or Alt then F4.
