Microsoft Yanks Fake Security Software!
Fake security software is something that has seemed to be on the rise lately with more and more machines installing and sometimes even paying for software. About the only things these software programs can do is slow down your computer, report FAKE security problems, and install and infect the machines with other viruses to do all the dirty work. But there is good news regarding these programs that have been infecting more and more PCs lately. It seems as though Microsoft has finally sent out an update for Windows systems that is meant to clean these infected systems of this worthless software with the Microsoft Software Removal Tool (MSRT).
Windows users may install the fake programs because they’ve been duped into thinking that they’re real — at times, bogus security software has been ranked high in Internet search results — although the rogue applications are also often secretly installed by malware that’s infected a system.
As this won’t be the end of these types of malware attacks for PC users, this is surely to cause a huge impact on the amount of systems infected and is greaty helping to clean them out and get them running how they should. Since these programs help bring hackers over $5 million a year, this is going to put a hurting in their pocket and also require them to go about alternate paths to try and infect PCs in order to bring themselves their profits that these programs help them get!
