How does this rogue work?
This program is installed on your computer, usually by Trojans. Once the program is installed, rogues display fake security alerts stating that your computer is infected or is under a risk. It urges you to purchase its software in order to protect yourself. If you click on one of these alerts, you will then be brought to the website of the program, where you will be prompted to purchase the software.

When this program is installed, it will be configured to start automatically, when your computer loads. It will first scan your computer and list a variety of fake infections that it says are running on your computer. The program says that it cannot be removed unless you first purchase it.
