"Warning: Spyware Detected On Your Computer"

CNN concluded in a recent study that 90% of internet users have some form of spyware installed on their computers. If you are one of them you are probably being barraged with pop-ups declaring – Warning spyware detected on your computer. But are these warnings accurate? Be very careful because you may be falling victim to a trap that could put you and your computer at risk

So how can one know if the warning spyware detected message is real or false? Well these are the common features of a “false positive” warning spyware detected message:

• Provides a link to a specific spyware remover. Official Windows warnings do not provide links to install antispyware software.

• Appears with colourful red and yellow caution and danger graphics. Beware any biohazard signs.

• The message hijacks your browser or redirects you to an unauthorized web page.

• A message announcing your computer is infected shows up on your taskbar.

These are just a few examples of the types of – Warning! Spyware detected on your computer! – false error messages you may come across. Whatever you do avoid clicking on any of these pop-ups. Downloading these deadly programs can put your identity at risk as all of your private information can be stolen. These dangerous messages can only be removed when you target the source. I recommend educating yourself further about spyware and viruses and purchasing a top spyware removal tool to eliminate and prevent future attacks.
