Scams on the internet are so frustrating! What can you do? My first recommendation is a simple one. If you get a message, popup, or any other form of indication that you need some piece of software or update AND it is from a manufacturer you know or is very common in the industry, DO NOT click the link! Instead, use your browser and go to the manufacturer’s site and get the update or feature or software directly from the manufacturer’s website.
If there is any doubt in your mind whether you need the update or the software recommended ask someone in the profession (a consultant, geek squad, etc.) for guidance. It may be an indication you are being phished or have malware trying to get established on your computer.
As an additional thought on scams. When I suggest that people go to the manufacturer’s website I am not suggesting that you search for it, I mean type in the address directly in the browser’s address bar. If you don’t know the appropriate website, this is when you should be calling a professional for guidance. Really, most of us would much rather assist you before there is a huge mess to clean up.
Honest, that image is not from your antivirus package, that is a bug in its glory trying to get you to help it get installed.
