Hi everyone,
1). Have you ever been infected by a Rogue Antivirus?
2). If so, do you remember which Rogue Antivirus it was? e.g. Defender Pro 2015, or even if you just remember it being a "fake Windows Defender clone" this will do. If you do not recommend, put "N/A".
3). Do you remember how long ago the infection was?
4). Did you use a product to remove it or get Malware Removal Assistance to have it cleaned? e.g. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
Earlier I was wondering about how malware writers could have tried making a real Antivirus instead of a fake one, allowing them to make a real business and help people instead of mess things up and waste their time. This wonder led me to the questions in this thread.
I'll start off:
1). Yes
2). Sadly not... N/A
3). Yes, the infection was about 4 or 5 years ago (so before I even had an interest in security, etc)
4). I used a product - it may have been Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (if so it would have been the first use I had attempted with MBAM)
Cheers.
