Antivirus software and computer system
scans can help to prevent and diagnose malware issues. However, keep in
mind that some cybercriminals hide malware within fake antivirus
software or illegitimate web "security scans." In many cases, the fake
software looks and sounds like legitimate products, making these
malicious fakes difficult to recognize. Before downloading any software
or using any scanning mechanism, be sure to research the security
company's reputation to verify its legitimacy. The following links offer examples of free online security scanning services offered by well-known security companies.
