[QUOTE="bellgamin, post: 1011066, member: 56053"] The following VERY IMPORTANT link was called to my attention on another security forum: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.wincert.net/cast/cybercriminals-hijacked-well-known-av-software/[/URL] I quote-in-part from that article (Caps & underlining added by me): I wonder: Just how does someone go about getting a FAKE K7 installed & running on his computer? I *assume* they do it by downloading a crack or by buying it from a reseller of unknown reliability. IMO, either way would be very foolish. Why? Because K7 is one of the very least expensive AVs when purchased directly from the developer's website. An AV, by its very nature, has great access to one's computer so -- why go on the cheap?
