• Redirects whenever you mistakenly click on the ads and hyperlinks. These will send you to different websites riddled with viruses. Exit them immediately, as just being there is a threat.
• Java or Flash Player may suddenly alert you of new versions. These are fakes. However, remember that at least these exact messages may appear outside of web browsers – on the windows program tray down on the right.
• On the same page, 1-855-791-2391 is one of the newer threats that have gained a library of popular programs they can imitate.

The first thing you should note here is that there are four main ways that viruses use to find their way in. The first two you can do little about, except find a nice anti-virus program: corrupted links and spam email. The other two though require some manual handling on your part, because they basically march through the one real whole through every cyber defense – your permission. To that effect, the other 2 ways are bundles infected with adware, and fake programs. Fake programs are traps set up for people who search for specific files: books, movies, archives, pdfs, anything really. Their only merit is the confusion they cause. Many users supposedly find what they are looking for and download the torrent, but there’s an .exe file waiting for them. That’s the way to spot these things – just look if it’s an executable files.

Infected bundles are a different sort of trouble – they are real, often useful programs distributed for free, but carrying things like 1-855-791-2391.
