You may have heard of FTC antivirus scam or may be a victim itself. But it all happened about three years ago when the company Innovative Marketing found itself in hot water with the FTC for pushing fake antivirus software. Their bogus titles included some of the biggest in fake AV history, like WinAntivirus and XP Antivirus — as well as DriveCleaner, ErrorFixer, and many other unscrupulous apps. The FTC even put together a consumer alert page designed to help folks learn to identify scareware distributed by lowlifes like Innovative and keep themselves from become infected and victimized financially.

But the point is that one notorious program would sneak into your system, and that’s where you need to keep a check.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is going to release a free online tool which will help them to fight against unexpected cyber threat attacks. This tool, named The “Small Biz Cyber Planner” and created together with representatives of government and private security firms, is going to show up in the next month.
