When you are browsing the web, keep a lookout for the LizaMoon malware. There is an increasing number of links on the Internet that have been hijacked by this malware. Typically, while browsing, all of a sudden a very official looking alert window will open and inform you that it is going to scan your PC. If you follow through, malware gets installed on your PC.

If a window pops up wanting to scan your PC, even if it looks like a legitimate Windows alert (this can be faked), don't run it. Stop the process by clicking the red X on the alert window, or, close your browser. Use Windows task manager if that doesn't work to end it. Then, run a full virus scan of your PC with your virus protection software.

Don't ever run or install virus protection software that presents itself to you while browsing. ONLY use the software you have on your PC to run scans.
