Hi,
I suspect that my dad has gotten a fake anti virus on his PC. It's called "Internet Security Essentials" which suddenly appeared today. He don't remember having clicked on anything suspicious however, but the software lists like 20-30 viruses that he apparently has, and it asks for an upgraded version that will remove it all which of course costs a bunch of money.
I have googled it and it seems like there are similar fake anti virus programs, but I couldn't find any information on one with exactly this name. Currently the free version of Avast anti virus is installed on his computer, but this doesn't find anything in a complete system scan.
So anyone got an advice on how to remove this thing?
Thanks in advance.
