Scareware is a form of malicious software that uses social engineering to cause shock, anxiety, or the perception of a threat in order to manipulate users into buying unwanted software. For example: You get a message saying you have a virus that can severely damage your hard drive and to “click here” Then they will try to sell you a fake antivirus to remove it.
Here's another unwelcome possibility. If the bad guys manage to infest your PC with malware called phishing that gathers passwords and personal information, they might well parlay that data into full-blown identity theft. You might not know a thing about it until you get the bill for a credit card account you never opened, or find that there's a lien on your house.
