XP Antivirus 2008
The Internet to most, like me, is familiar territory by now, so we can navigate its more stormy areas with ease. But many, like my wife's uncle, are not that savvy.
I am the tech that keeps his computer running. And I have installed software like AVG's free antivirus and have helped him to understand it enough to use it himself. But as time goes on, he forgets how to use it. It's not one of the applications he runs often, and as he tells me, it's his advanced age that makes him forget. LOL!
So, due to his advanced age, he forgot that he had an antivirus and bought one because a window popped-up claiming that his computer was vulnerable! We can catch fraudulent advertising like this because we have seen it a thousand times and probably were smart enough not to fall for it the first time we encountered it. Not only did he pay $109! Can you believe it? He also bought malware:XP Antivirus 2008. Unbelievable!
This thing made his computer slower, and kept popping up his Internet dial-up connection at start-up. Sadly, there are many, many web surfers online with the same lack of knowledge that are had in just the same way.
Why do these companies continue to operate for so long. It's beyond me. The feds enjoy getting into everything, so where are the feds when you need them to step in? Clearly INNOVAGEST 2000 S.L. is running a fraudulent operation and should be shut down.
