Then Winweb Security is installed on the computer and the problems begin. To start with, bogus alerts and notifications are displayed, claiming that a number of viruses have been found in the system.
This is only the first step of the plan for scaring the user into buying Winweb Security. What follows is the phony scanning tool. As a way to make their creation look legitimate, hackers have even invented a list of infections. They have included rogue infections in it as well to make it seem genuine. In reality, the worst and in most cases — the only, malware in the system is the very program which claims to detect malware - Winweb Security.
When the scan is over, the victim is prompted to purchase the full version of the program in order to remove the security threats. What is more, pop-ups like the one below continue appearing as an attempt to frighten the user:. Provided that you notice this program's presence on your computer, you should keep in mind that paying for it is not the key to your problems. User's Internet Explorer cache folder emptied.
Local Service Temp folder emptied. Local Service Temporary Internet Files folder emptied. Windows Temp folder emptied. Temp folders emptied. Hopefully so. Thanks guys, I genuinely appreciate the help.
