Computer Users Downloading Fake Security Software

According to reports there are dangers lurking in the office: computer users that are not Internet savvy are downloading software programs that are supposed to keep their computers safe. The problem is that they do not realize they are being scammed by cybercriminals that is adding up to approximately $34 million dollars monthly for fake security software, so get out of your chairs and do something..
Many of the computer users that are falling prey to this are following links to malicious websites with what is known as rogueware. The program will then report to the computer user that there has been malware found on their system and offer to correct the problem. The computer user will then be asked for their credit card number, once they have paid to have the problem corrected, it usually is not according to Panda Security.
Panda Security has reported that during 2008 they detected approximately 55,000 rougeware sites on the Internet and that they estimate approximately 35 million computers are infected by rougeware each month.
As an aside if you use the computer a lot you should certainly be aware of what kind of office chairs that you use. On the whole, I do suggest ergonomic office chairs as they are very important overall. The cybercriminals are making and estimated $34 million per month from the rougeware that is sold to computer users for between $49.95 and $79.95 with no end in sight to the rogueware websites on the Internet.
