Types of virus’s change so frequently. Thats why we always make sure that we stay up to date with the latest threats.
The majority of modern day virus are referred to as adware or malware. These type of virus can affect your PC or laptop in different ways. Sometimes, a website redirect maybe in place so that every time you try to access Google, you get redirected to an entirely different site – usually one selling product or service.
Another common virus technique is often referred to as a ‘fake alert’. This type of virus modifies your computer or laptop and displays messages on screen telling you that you have system problems or lots of virus infections. Your machine will often be unusable and you are made to believe that you need to pay a fee to remove the virus – if you are unlucky enough to experience this scenario – DO NOT pay any money using your debit or credit card.
