DangerousVirus Threat Level: DangerousVirus is a pest

DangerousVirus screenshot DangerousVirus is a “virus” that appears in fake security alerts from rogue antispyware. DangerousVirus popups could read:

“Your computer was infected with DangerousVirus.
It’s dangerous for your system, some files can be lost and your browser can be slow!
Click OK to download the antispyware program to clean your computer! (Recommended)”

or

“Your browser was hijacked by DangerousVirus.”

This DangerousVirus popup is supposed to scare you into buying the fake antispyware. You may have caught “DangerousVirus” by a drive-by download, or getting tricked into downloading a fake video codec.

Unless you like getting ripped off, don’t download the software the DangerousVirus popup links to. You’re not really infected with DangerousVirus — you’re infected with fake anti-spyware that you need to remove.
