Cyber criminals, however, still infect users with their phony AV products by making all of them exceptionally akin to legitimate anti-virus products, at least at first sight. The issue is that most of the victims who have been lured into purchasing the bogus full release of the rogue have not been capable of taking their money back. A small number of them, by acting really fast, have been able to stop the transaction prior to being processed. The greatest part of victims, however, went as far as trying to contact the particular fake firm without success.
