Fake Internet Security 2013 Virus Description

The Internet Security 2013 virus is categorized as a Rogue program which is an attack that used to cheat innocent computer users. Many people believe it is a legitimate computer virus scanning program because it has the same ability like other security tools to warn the user that computer is at risk due to several threats detected during the recent system scan. It is very similar to Win 7 Internet Security 2013 virus or XP Internet Security 2013. But does Internet Security 2013 virus really own virus detecting and removal ability and reveal the status of your computer? The answer is No. Even though it has a convincing appearance, it is just a rogue security program which uses misleading error messages in order to scam computer users into purchasing fake anti-virus software. Once it launches it performs system scan in real time and then returns a long list of malicious threats and attacks that have been detected.  When you click on any option in order to remove them all, you will be prompted to upgrade to the full paid version first and you need to pay for a great amount of money.

Apparently, Internet Security 2013 Virus is designed to extort money from computer users by pretending itself to be a legitimate virus scanning tool and mislead users into thinking paying the upgrade version can help to finish the removal of several dangerous threats found on the computer. Don’t be fooled by that. Users should understand how this tricky virus works and avoid to being the victims of this scam. If this virus has been installed on the computer it will open upon start up and it will appear to perform a scan of the system files and look for potentially dangerous files. It will then show a list of infected files that it seems to be a threat to the users computer. Naturally, the user is going to select the option to immediately remove these files from the computer, but when any option related to removal action is selected there will be a notice that states that the program needs to be updated to the paid version in order to continue the removal.

Please remember that Internet Security 2013 Virus is not a real anti-virus or anti-spyware program and it does not actually perform a legitimate scan of the system, it is just a rogue application. All of the results that it shows are pre-programmed and will show up every time your computer boots up. This is a very complex computer virus that has been constructed to resemble many of the popular virus scanning programs that come pre-installed on Windows based computers. They do this so that the users think that it is those programs that are requesting to be updated. Many individuals fall for this scam because of the familiar look of the message. They also do not want to risk all of the claimed infected files doing damage to their computer so the upgrade fee is often paid without even questioning it or suspecting it is authentic or not. This enables these hackers to make a tremendous amount of money from this scam.

None of these warning messages are real and the entire Internet Security 2013 program is a complete scam. How do these hackers infect so many computers? They spread this attack in two ways. Firstly, they send out millions of emails daily that contain an attachment which is infected with the Internet Security 2013 virus and if the user opens the attachment, their computer will become infected. Secondly, the hackers spread the virus across several popular file downloading sites and when users visit these sites and download images, audio files, and video files they will pick up the virus. They focus on spreading it across as many PCs as possible as a way to increase the odds of users falling for the trick and sending their payment information. Not only will they be scammed for the “upgrade” but also they are virtually handing over their credit card details to criminals. Therefore, removing Internet Security 2013 Virus is the first thing you have to do to save your computer and privacy.
