Have you ever gotten an offer for security software or a "critical" security update when you're online? Whatever you do, don't click. The Internet is rife with offers for fake security software that at best provides limited security protection, and at worst downloads malicious software to your computer or tries to trick you into a fraudulent transaction. Learn more about rogue security software, how to help protect yourself from it, and what to do if you think you have it on your computer.
