This malware is encountered when users visit a malicious site ,it displays a fake scanning result and encourage them to purchase the fake antivirus program,this program is packaged as a security program made for Windows 8. Trend Micro also detected another threat to Windows 8 , a phishing email which pretends to give the users a free download of Windows 8 operating system,but the users end up giving his personal information to the site. So next time you encounter such program over a website or an email in your inbox be alert!
