Most of the current malware available are rogue programs whose aim is to frighten computer users into purchasing some so called antivirus or antispyware ‘security suites’ or applications.
Rogue antivirus, spyware and virus scan removal tools are scareware/malware programs that claim to scan your computer for malware. They display fake scan reports and alerts to scare you into buying some non-existence security application software. The fact is that a rogue application tries to mimic genuine security software and tries to scam users into thinking that their computers are seriously infected.
