Scareware, as the name suggests, is a form of malware that is known to cause shock, anxiety and threat amongst users and persuades them to purchase bundled software. These software packages look like legitimate security programs but are otherwise malicious software such as a fake antivirus.
A portion of the Internet that, for a number of reasons, isn’t indexed by search engines is called the Deep Web/Internet. Websites with dynamic pages, blocked pages where CAPTCHAs are required, private websites where login is required using credentials, are a few examples of content that comes under the Deep Internet.
The World Wide Web presents itself as a useful source of information for people around the globe. However, if we look at the other side of the coin, it is full of cyber threats. There resides malware in the form of viruses, spyware, spamming content and the list goes on…We all know that! But have you ever thought from where and how these threats come into the web and attack online users?
We live in an online world surrounded by endless threats that are always ready to steal our personal data and infect our computer systems. You must have encountered a situation where clicking a link, opening an attachment or simply visiting a website automatically installs an unknown program on your computer.
