Computer usage is a necessity in today's world and most of the users have very little practical knowledge about computers beyond their point of interest. While they are innocent in these matters they are highly susceptible to online exploitation. It has been a plague now-a-days to scare those basic users to the "destruction" of their PC due to presence of errors in their PC or presence of malware. The main goal is obviously to bluff those users by showing imaginary errors or/and malware present in their system and forcing them to buy their "product". Of course these products are useless. It's a common thing among basic users to relate the efficiency of a product based on the number of infection or error it detects be it fake or real. So, even if they are protected with "good" antimalware they fall in these dirty tricks.
This class of fake software are known as rogueware, rogue security software, fake antispyware etc. Historically these malware used to do no harm other than exploiting basic users for buying their software; but normally these come with advanced capabilities to do harm to computers.
