F-Secure posted 5 things that they feel will help keep users safe when they are browsing. F-Secure writes Antivirus software for Windows so their advice is geared towards Windows users. I like number 2: 2. Real anti-virus or Internet security software will NEVER just appear on your computer.
If an “anti-virus” you didn’t install appears on your PC, it’s a scam. There is almost no exception to this rule. If anything other than your Internet security software tells you that infections have been detected on your PC, don’t believe it. F-Secure Online Scanner will detect and help you extract any malware including fake anti-virus or scareware. PLEASE, don’t pay for any software that installs itself on your computer. If you do make the mistake of passing on any banking information to a fake security program, contact your bank or credit-card company immediately. I had to recover a computer who's user downloaded and installed an "antivirus" program that popped up. F-Secure left out some helpful advice such as get a more secure Operating System.
