Question: While browsing internet, I saw a warning that my PC is infected and the window that popped want to scan? Is it safe to click OK, or even Cancel or click the X to close the Window? Irrespective of I click yes or no, it seems it started scanning my drives. What is going on?
Answer: These threats are there for a long time with spyware and adwares. These are called as scareware. If you click OK or Cancel or X to close the window, you might have fulfilled the dream of the installing anything that scaring website wanted to install. Even clicking X to close the window or for that matter clicking anyware in that webpage could install the scareware.
Limiting user access for Internet Browsing will stop most of the threats. So make the user account as Limited Account rather than Adminnstrator account.
