Rogue Anti Virus Software
Internet security experts keep banging the drum about 'due diligence' but despite doing all the right things, people are still being scammed and duped by rogue antivirus and anti spyware software.

Imagine this; you are working on your computer and a window pops up warning you of some sort of security threat on your computer - any one of the many nasty gremlins that find their way on to computers to destroy and steal information.

You might be thankful for this alarm, even surprised that you didn't know it was on your computer, but impressed how discreet it is, keeping out of sight and out of mind until the enemy attack!
Or, you are a little suspicious simply because you were not aware of this antivirus/spyware on your computer...and this is where 'due diligence' comes in. You make a note of the name or brand and do a search.

The results are very impressive!, rave reviews about it, comments and recommendations in forums etc - the antivirus/antispyware on your computer appears to be legitimate and judging the positive reviews, it is the best thing since sliced bread.

time to prefix the word 'Rogue' to 'antispyware' because that is exactly what it is. Rogue antispyware and antivirus software uses fake security alerts and system warnings to frighten people into buying the software, which is an infection in itself.
