Malware scares people with mimicked BSOD screen
A scareware package is on the wild which mimics Windows’ infamous Blue Screen of Death for scaring people and to mislead them to buy some crappy (rogue) anti spyware application.
If you ever came across this kind of screen in which some notice like “your system is infected” is there, dont be scared. Their purpose is to scare you and make you pay for some crap.
The Blue Screen of Death trick is a new social engineering innovation used by the developers of these rogue applications. If you buy their product assuming it would clean your system and make your system safe, then you are wrong. This family of software isn’t necessarily intrinsically malicious, but members of the family often use deceptive sales techniques and false positives, deliberate or accidental, to convince users to pay for a license.
So dont buy any products like this. Use some reputed anti virus product for removing their trails from your system.
Note:
If you are one among the people who used to watch online videos frequently, especially the videos which are illegal to watch, then stop or atleast be careful. Because nowadays malwares are spreading using a new technique. For example you will be asked to download and install some new codec or player for viewing their content. If you download and install this, you will end up with a severely infected system.
