Fake Virus Warnings: A Guide to Scareware and Adware

A pop-up says your computer is infected, an alarm is sounding, and there's a phone number for "Microsoft Support." That's scareware. These pages are built to make people panic and then call, click, or pay before they stop to think. As part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we put together this one-page guide for staff at the organizations we support. It covers how these scams start, the warning signs, and what to do if one appears on your screen. Print it, post it, and share it with your team.
