People can be easily fooled if running Windows XP with the default theme.
Windows 95/98/2000/me/Vista/7 or Mac users shouldn't get fooled.

I had one once which displayed messages that my hard drive had failed and had been wiped, and then went on to hide the entire contents of my C drive to try and convince me that this was true. Of course that wasn't the case, it was scareware designed to make me go to a website to 'fix' whatever problem I had, which would scam me out of my money. In any case, removing the scareware was easy, unhiding the entire C Drive a little more irritiating :p

@tylerstudly12 Ah so it shows up randomly and infects via internet. I hope I dont run into one of those types. First scareware I got was from a picture saying if I exited the page my computer would crash, nothing happened.

@DragonwriterX you dont necessarily download scareware. It pretty much shows up and keeps bugging you, usually they want your credit card #. They will say if you buy this they will remove the virus but it really wont do anything. I had one that actually blocked me from the Internet once. Look up malwarebytes, its a free anti malware program that usually gets rid of them.
-
Does the scareware install viruses after opening? Or do you have to actually download it for anything to actually happen?

Dude, he knows you can cancel it. He's just trying to let people like you who obviously know very litttle about computers, know that it's out there and what it looks like. No need to flame like that.
