Rogue antivirus makes users an ‘offer they can’t refuse’

Rogue or fake antivirus is the digital equivalent of paying the neighborhood mafia “protection money” to make sure nothing bad happens to your business. With rogue antivirus, an alert message will appear letting you know that a malicious threat was detected, and offering to eradicate itfor a fee. Many will ignore the initial threat as a minor one, and turn down the offer to help. Eventually, instead of a rock through the window, or a small fire in a trash can out back, the business is robbed or ransacked.”]
