Other names will and can be used. These Rogue programs and fake alerts can come through email (outlook, outlook express) and Internet Explorer. Do not click on advertisements that say "free scan", or you maybe infected. Other rogue programs can be downloaded by unprotected sites with other programs or files such as videos, music, or games. Check to verify if the site is legitimate by searching the site through a search engine. A standard rule of thumb is: "Nothing is free", and if it sounds too good, then it's not good.
 
We highly advise the use of Mozilla Firefox for all internet usage. Firefox is much safer and secure than IE6, 7, or version 8. To enhance your security we advise getting an anti-virus and anti-malware program. Rivenwood recommends AVG and Malwarebytes. AVG uses a browser security program called web shield that scans websites for malicious content and Malwarebytes can keep you from going to any potential dangerous website. If you believe you have contracted any of these bogus programs please call us at: 1-636-356-0023.
Whatever you do DO NOT PURCHASE IT or REGISTER IT.
 
FireFox can be downloaded at: www.firefox.com
