    The first risk is that avast! is a bad Anti-Virus protects against so much. However, I suggest another Anti-Virus FREE much more effective: Avira AntiVir. Avira AntiVir Personal is a free version of Avira anti-virus database that provides anti-virus and anti-spyware protection against dangerous viruses, worms, Trojans, malware, spyware and dialers expensive. Avira AntiVir Personal is good and free, except that it always pops up and displays annoying nag screen Which advertisement persuades users to upgrade to paid premium edition of Avira product.

    These infections are intended only to show you popups alerting you to download and install a rogue. Sometimes, the rogue is included in the infection and is installed without your knowledge. Usually, the scan starts rogue alone, the rogue will detect multiple infections more or less imaginary but always isu scan window will tell you that you must pay to clean the computer. As you have understood, the goal is to make you buy a fake antispyware simulating infections.
