How the Win 7 2012 Scam Works
Rogue security programs are a common online scam that account for millions of dollars of lost revenue every year. They are actually a digital version of one of the most common con jobs, going back centuries. Other versions of the rogue security program scam were seen among fraudulent auto mechanics, plumbers and repairmen of all kinds. Basically, Win 7 2012 is designed to run malicious scripts and install dangerous Trojans on your computer system. It will also pester you with constant error messages claiming that your computer system is infected and that your PC is endangered. In reality, this is partly true, but the real danger is Win 7 2012 itself. Win 7 2012 does all this in order to convince you to purchase a useless 'license' of the Win 7 2012 fake security program in order to fix the problems Win 7 2012 is itself causing on your computer system. Imagine an auto mechanic that will purposefully break your engine and then claim that your engine is broken and that he will require you to pay a certain amount in order to fix it. In a nutshell, that is how the Win 7 2012 scam works.
