If you didn’t install it

If you know you didn’t install a program, you can recognize a counterfeit.

You should become familiar with the programs installed on your computer. Programs are listed under the Control Panel in Windows.

This will help you to PREVENT a malware attack.

If you get an email or a pop-up that says you need to update your PC Protection software, and you KNOW you have nothing named PC PROTECTION, it can be deleted and ignored.

But, if that same pop-up reappears, you have a form of the infection and should seek help.
