After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only MS Antivirus 2008 can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads MS Antivirus 2008 trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, MS Antivirus 2008 offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors.

After running Norton 360 antivirus, then Microsoft updates (my computer had been dormant for over a week), this flashy pop-up came up to warn me of a virus threat. I was a little suspicious, especially when it asked me to run an exe file with a very long name! I did not obey the warning, instead I ran Norton again, it found nothing.
Thank you for this helpful website. The user beware.

Hey Christina
You can always call Visa and have a charge back put on your card. When you challenge a visa transaction, Visa sends a letter to the company requiring proof of transaction.Any misrepresentation is always reversed. As any vendor can tell you, Visa assumes the customer is always right and the vendor is always wrong.
I’d give you 100% chance of getting refund.
