What is scare ware?
Scareware is software that tries to trick people into sending money, based on the suggestion that something bad will happen if they don't. The most common scareware scams are "free sample" antivirus programs that produce reports that claim that the user's computer is infected with various forms of malware and urge the user to purchase the full antivirus program to clean up the problems. The cleanup program is usually just as fake as the virus detector.

Can the Authorities FBI CIA or NSA send you warnings through your iPad?
Can they send you warnings? Yes, if they really wanted to, but they have never been known to do so. If they want to contact you they do it through more obvious means such as showing up at your house, apartment, dorm, school, or place of business and inviting you (firmly) to come speak with them. There are some organizations such as US-CERT that can send you alerts/warnings if you have signed up to receive them, but they don't send them out unsolicited. That question sounds very much like one someone might ask when they have visited a questionable web site and been hit with a "scareware" warning. Scareware is a type of social engineering - often combined with another kind of malware - intended to induce fear, anxiety, shock, or other wise induce the victim to feel threatened. It often is intended to trick a victim into installing some malware on their computer (under the guise of protection) or purchasing some worthless software or getting them to send money to the perpetrator as a "fine" (effectively blackmail) .
An Inside Look at Windows Security Center?
Microsoft’s Windows Security Center is a component of the Windows operating system that provides users with comprehensive protection from all of the most common security threats. Windows Security Center is not installed on all versions of Windows, but Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 all offer this service. Although Windows Security Center does not offer same level of computer protection as security programs offered by companies like Norton and McAfee, the Windows Security Center acts provides an excellent level of protection whenever a commercial security program has been disabled. Here is an inside look at the primary features of Windows Security Center and the areas in which it falls short. Windows Security Center lets computer users monitor the security of their computer system from a control panel that provides very easy to understand indications of whether everything is operating smoothly. The control panel indicates the current states of a computer’s security by turning green when everything is protected, yellow when there is something that a computer user should be aware of and red when there is a serious problem. Windows Security Center consists of Windows Defender, Windows Firewall and Windows Updates and typically runs smoothly in the background of the operating system by running system scans and downloading updates without a computer user needing to take any action. While Windows Security Center provides a good deal of coverage from the most major online threats that the average computer user is likely to encounter, it is also has a number of flaws. One of the most well-known flaws presented by this component of the Windows operating system is a vulnerability that allows scareware to increase the threat level indicated by Windows Security Center. Scareware is a type of malware that is designed to frighten computer users into installing a spyware program promoted as an antivirus program or to provide their credit card number to an unscrupulous software vendor. Some types of scareware are able to change the settings on Windows Security Center to indicate that there are damaging viruses that have infected the computer when the only malicious code on the computer is the scareware itself.
How often does a registry cleaner have to be run?
Experts are in disagreement over the benefits and necessity of registry cleaners. Many feel that you never need to run a registry cleaner. Years ago, registry cleaners were more correctly referred to as registry repair programs. They repaired Windows Registry issues that caused computer problems. Registry cleaners resolve or remove registry issues involving invalid entries, missing file references or broken links. Further clouding the issue is that malware and scareware are often associated with certain registry cleaners.

What is this Facebook fan group all about - 'Babysitter Goes To Jail After She Uploads This HORRIBLE Baby Photo Online'?
DO NOT join this Facebook group. It is a scam to get you to go through to an advertising page run by CPA, and they will then trick you to install their scareware (fake antivirus software) by loading a trojan/worm on your computer. The photo in question is a photo of an 11-month-old baby with his mouth up to a bong. This is a real photo taken by the child's 19-year-old mother. The Florida mother has stated that she took the photo as a joke and posted it on Facebook to show a friend. She has said there were no drugs or tobacco of any kind in the bong at the time. The case is currently under investigation, and both the mother and baby are being tested for drugs. See the related news story below under Related Links.
