Conflicting Software

Not all software works well together; most noteably, Security software. Never use, or have more than one form of Anti-Virus or security software installed on the same machine. They don't play well together!

Rogue Security Software

Fake security software is the most issues people find today. A good way to spot a rogue security system is if you have never seen or heard of it before. If it just appears one day and you can't open your normal security program; the chances are you are being asked for money to 'Clean' your pc.
