MALWARES

False Alarm
I recently encountered a false alarm stating that my pc is infected with virus and that i need to install the antivirus which i forgot the name. The icon at the lower right corner looks funny and does not look anything like the windows warning icon. Too many warnings, so i decided to search the product over the net and saw that its been causing too many problems to other people.

Malware Solution
SO that was actually a Malware, Malicious software (mal-ware) is a form of computer program designed with malicious intent. This intent may be to cause annoying pop-up ads with the hope you click on one and generate revenue, or forms of spyware and viruses that can be used to steal your identity or track your activities. ...

I removed the said malware by using malwarebytes' AntiMalware. After installing the software.

1. Restart your PC
2. Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears
3. Select Safe Mode
4. Start the Malwarebytes AntiMalware Program
5. Wait Until the scan is completed
6. Restart PC.

Here is the link to the software:
