An application is opening itself on multiple server and desktop PCs on your employer's network. The application is named Antispyware Remover 2020â„¢ and offers to remove infected malware for a price of $99 per infected operating system. The application is very persistent and pop-ups frequently with flashing colors. What term best describes this scenario?
Some malware, known as Rogue antivirus or Rogue security software, will pretend to be antivirus software in an attempt to trick users into paying a fee to remove malware. Most likely it will just install more malicious software or do nothing (after charging the user of course).
