Adware.FakeAntivirus is web based adware that attempts to trick users into believing they have a virus or infected files on their computer.

The process starts by prompting the user to run a scan for for malware and spyware. If the user performs the scan, it then displays a (fake) large list of infected files. The scan then attempts to get the user to purchase the software to remove the infected files.

To avoid adware such as this, all users are only recommended to scan their PC with quality software. If you do run an online scan, make sure it is from a trusted source. Keeping your anti-virus and spyware software up-to-date will also help.
