What is Rogue Security Software?
Rogue security software, sometimes referred to as scareware, is software that appears to be beneficial from a security perspective but usually provides no security, generates incorrect or misleading alerts, or attempts to lure users into purchasing software.
How does Rogue Security Software get on my computer?
Rogue security software designers create legitimate looking applications that advertise security software. These windows might pop-up on your screen while you browse the WEB. The messages poping-up on screen ask you to take some sort of action, like clicking to install the software, to apply updates to your system, or to do a virus removal scan. Once you click on the message, the rogue security software downloads, installs and of course infects your computer. An example of a Rogue infection is the Rogue Security Center virus. This infection requires some serious virus removal.
What does it do?
Rogue security software might report a virus (Fake Alert) even though your computer is actually clean. Of course it will fail to report viruses in case your computer is infected. In most cases downloading rogue security software will install a virus or other malicious software on your computer. This infection is generally not reported and requires virus removal.
Computer Virus Issue/Removal
If you suspect that your computer is infected with a virus, there are several steps you can take to remove it. Here's a general guide to help you:
Update your antivirus software:
Ensure that your antivirus software is up to date with the latest virus definitions. This step is crucial because new viruses are constantly emerging, and antivirus programs need to be able to recognize and remove them.
Perform a full system scan:
Initiate a full system scan using your antivirus software. This scan will search your entire computer for any infected files and programs. Depending on the size of your hard drive and the number of files, this process may take some time. Be patient and let the scan complete.
Quarantine or delete infected files:
Once the scan is finished, your antivirus software will likely present you with a report detailing any infected files it found. Depending on the severity of the infection, you can choose to either quarantine or delete the infected files. Quarantine isolates the files from the rest of your system, while deletion permanently removes them. Follow the instructions provided by your antivirus software.
Use an antimalware tool:
In addition to your antivirus software, consider running a specialized antimalware tool to double-check for any remaining malware. There are several reputable antimalware programs available for free, such as Malwarebytes. Install and run one of these tools, and perform a thorough scan of your computer.
Update your operating system and software:
Ensure that your operating system and all installed software are up to date. Updates often include security patches that can help protect against known vulnerabilities that viruses may exploit.
Enable firewall protection:
Make sure that your computer's firewall is enabled. Firewalls help block unauthorized access to your system and can prevent certain types of malware from reaching your computer.
Be cautious with email attachments and downloads:
Exercise caution when opening email attachments or downloading files from the internet. Only download files from trusted sources, and be wary of any unexpected or suspicious email attachments.
Educate yourself about safe browsing habits:
Learn about safe browsing practices, such as avoiding clicking on suspicious links or visiting potentially harmful websites. Be mindful of phishing attempts and stay vigilant while online.
If you've followed these steps and are still experiencing issues or suspect that your computer may be infected, it's advisable to seek assistance from a professional computer technician or a trusted IT support service. They can provide further guidance and help ensure that your computer is thoroughly cleaned of any viruses or malware. Call CompuRepair on: 0403-755-519.
