How does computer get infected with rogue antivirus software?

Answer 1

Your computer gets infected by rogue anti virus software by the user allowing someone or something to download itself. This is called social engineering or the user's computer is already infected and the malware present downloads more malware including rogue antivirus software. Today anti malware experts are cracking down on hackers and other exploits in the cyberworld. In many cases th security is so good that even the most experienced people technically have a very difficult time being malicious. To around this malicious code writers take advantage of social engineering. Instead of being technical and finding holes or vulnerabitlitys in operating systems or programs cybercriminals just let a user let them in. You know when you visit a site or try to download data internet explorer will pop with a security warning. Well some people click yes download and so on. Thus making the criminals job a lot easier. Computers will also download rogue antivirus when already existing malware (malicious code) sends information about your computer to download more malware. Why does this happen? Cybercriminals know that after a while users will realize their machines are infected and therefore disinfect them. However if more and more malware is downloaded it will make fixing the machine and in many getting help very difficult.

I have found that AVG and other antivirus programs do not work very well with rogue antivirus and maleware programs. There are many different variations of these rogue programs and they usually drop trojans and worms with them. The programs that work effectively are maleware bytes antimalware and super antispyware. As soon as you know you have been infected you must start scanning with these programs immediately, as the infections start to lock your computer down. Meaning you may not be able to open things such as the registry, task manager, any programs, etc....
