Malware could affect you in a detrimental way. They will contribute to the causes of why you have lost all of your data and files. Truthfully saying, some of the reasons why you have obtained such malware are pop-up advertisements and bogus antivirus programs.
There is no denying to the fact that these pop-ups catch you off guard. They will continuously appear out of the blue. They will be a nuisance to your work whether you are doing your assignment or project. They will start off on downloading nasty programs and download them on your personal computer. These pop-ups can be tricky. They won't only appear on bad web sites but to the legal ones too. One way to combat this annoying pop-up is through a secured browser. An example of this secured browser is Firefox. This browser is equipped with a built-in pop-up blocker.
Another source of malware is a bogus antivirus program. Try to visit a particular antivirus website and you will immediately see a banner telling you that your personal computer is infected with malware. So after seeing this banner, you will have your computer scanned with all of the best antivirus in the world. After you have done all the cleaning and maintenance, you would still see the banner telling you the same thing. The thing you don't know is the fact that it is just a basic image banner.
The site never scans your personal computer. The banner is a fixed message that is presented on the website. So no matter how you clean your computer from any threats, it will remain the same. All they want is for you to think that your computer is infected and the only solution is their software. That is why if you download and install their antivirus program, you will just discover that it is a malware itself. Instead of having a clean and safe computer environment, you will just end up having a dirty one.
