An email bombing is an attack on your inbox that involves sending massive amounts of messages to it. Sometimes these messages are incomprehensible. But more often, they will be confirmation emails for newsletters and subscriptions. Thus, in the latter case, the attacker uses a script to search for forums and newsletters on the internet. Then they sign up for an account with your email address. Each will send you a confirmation email, asking you to confirm your address. Also, this process is repeated on as many unprotected sites as the script can find. The term Email Bombing or Email Bombing; it can also refer to flooding an email server with too many emails. In an attempt to overwhelm the server and disable it. But that's not the goal here; it would be a challenge to cut down on the modern email accounts used. Meanwhile, Google or Microsoft email servers, anyway. So instead of a denial of service (DOS) attack; against the email servers you are using. Also, the flood of messages

When at some point you discover something strange on your computer and you think that that there could be spyware or an epidemic, the foremost common decision is typically to look the Internet for a program to eliminate it. At the very least, we've tried to seek out the name of such malicious software and look for information about it on the web. So far so good.

Be Safe From Duplicity

The problem is that it's quite common to get that the answer that appears within the first Google results isn't the right. Yes, you'll see several blogs during which they tell you that the foremost evil and infectious virus within the world has gotten into you, but that they need the answer. Everyone tells you a few perfect anti-spyware that works to unravel it.

After installing it on your PC, convinced that you simply have found the definitive solution, once you do the primary scan, the anti-spyware tells you that you simply have 200-300 infections and that you have to solve it as soon as possible. If it's not a fake anti-spyware, you've got encounter a “fake” or a fake antivirus that provides false positives. What does this mean? We are talking about software that tells you that your computer has many infections, when presumably it's not.

Their objective is for you to download the program, either because it is another spyware, or because they want you to buy the antivirus at all costs, or simply, they will waste tons of your time and take up space on your computer until you remember to uninstall it. .

What Can We Learn From A Fake Antivirus?

1. Once you think you've got malicious software, determine first. Find out what his name is. You can use Windows Defender as a start line, which is that the same for that OS, or the antivirus you've got installed. When you know the name of the malware, you'll remove it, and just in case you cannot, search for information about it. But be very careful; keep calm and go step by step.

2. Don't trust what all the blogs say. Yes, in this world there are many liars. And that two or three blogs repeat an equivalent idea doesn't mean that it's true. Sometimes you write the name of a malware in Google and tons of blogs begin telling you that the thanks to solve it's by downloading this or that antivirus. At the very least, fakes will waste some time.

3. Don't use unknown antivirus. It is only advisable to seem for an additional antivirus within the event that you simply don't have one installed, or yours has not been ready to eliminate the malware. Look for an updated and recognized antivirus that is not a fake or tries to deceive people by making them buy an antivirus to clean something they do not have.

4. Clean your browser. Sometimes it is not that you have a virus, but some uncomfortable extension has been installed in your browser. With your antivirus you'll be ready to clean the rubbish that's in your browser, be it Chrome, Explorer or Firefox, and restore the configuration from the start.

5. Remove it manually, if you know. Some malicious programs are often removed manually by entering the program files, just in case your antivirus software doesn't identify them. However, I don't recommend that you simply use this method if you're not conversant in your OS, as you'll unknowingly delete files from the system.

So, to stay safe from fake antivirus always check the antivirus name, its authenticity and how it works, than install it in your computer so that it can fight with all the chances present in your computer and provides you complete security from all the threats which will ruin your work or deduct your personal information by entering in your computer.

TESTING THE ANTIVIRUS THAT YOU USE

Have you ever wondered how antivirus is tested before it is available on the market? The truth is that, despite what you may think at first, these applications pass a series of tests that have the mission, obviously, of verifying their effectiveness. Well, for most IT security vendors these assessments are now out of date. Testing an antivirus before its launch is something that is done regularly. Thus, the AV Tests (name by which the aforementioned tests are known) allow users to choose which antivirus they want to install on their computers, knowing what their main characteristics are and what they protect against. So far everything normal. So what is the problem? Some manufacturers of security solutions have raised their voices against the fact that these tests are “not modernized”. In what sense? Some companies claim that, although the complexity of security applications has grown considerably in recent times, when conducting evaluations they do not test the new technologies w
