It is impossible to tell if a free antivirus software is legit and safe. With so many threats surfacing around the world, such as conflicker, it is sometimes hard to come to a decision if you want to install a software to get rid of it or even patch your computer.

Question is : Are you infected by it in the first place?

Falling prey to malicious warnings and software and end up being infected as a result happens to everyone. Take for instance, the latest conflicker, will display a windows security warning that looks as legit as a windows warning at the lower right hand corner, however, upon clicking on it, it installs a fake antivirus called "spyware protect 2009 " which ends up the malware that will attempt to steal all personal information from you.

What's even worse, it bugs the user to pay to fix some so called issues for a price and as a result, loosing your credit card number to the scammers.

Some tell tale signs of a fake program would be

* The program is downloaded from somewhere else and not microsoft auto updates
* The antivirus program starts a scan on its own, without even asking you for permission
* The antivirus program has a name that is not heard off
* This program bugs you for issues that other scanners did not detect.

The following software below is a fake scanner deployed by conflicker.
