Microsoft has announced that Windows Defender has started to remove software that has 'compulsive' or 'misleading content' that will be used in a frightening fashion to force you to pay extra for services that are useless.
Often referred to as scareware, these routines generally prompt you for a risk or need to be optimized for your system, which in turn prompts you to download paid software to optimize the registry on your Windows computer to make your computer run faster.
Barak Shein of the Microsoft Windows team said: "These rogue software first scan your normal computer and then maliciously report the error, then use the mandatory information to intimidate the customer and allow them to buy the paid software." When you buy the paid software They scan the computer again, saying it solves the problems found in the free version.
Microsoft found these applications to be very malicious to average Windows users, so the next month's update from Windows will classify these applications as 'unwanted software' and remove them from the computer. It has been around for years, but I'm still happy to see Microsoft move to boycott them, and Microsoft said it will begin removing those applications by March 1, allowing developers to test compliance with their software on the appropriate portals.
