They are a virtual currency that has been in use since the beginning of 2009 through open-source software. Individual Bitcoins are calculated as cryptographic keys in peer-to-peer networks.

Nowadays, however, this tactic is also being used to infect your PC with malware. Unknown callers pretend to be employees of an established company and ask for remote access to solve a PC problem. The fraudsters preferably pose as technical support agents for Microsoft, but also for other well-known companies such as Google. mc@emsisoft.comTue, 09 Apr 2013 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.emsisoft.com/en/kb/articles/news130325Does this sound familiar? - A website is asking for your password, but you just don't remember it anymore.

Unfortunately thousands of PC users worldwide find themselves in a situation where, all of a sudden their computer is unusable unless they pay a fee to unlock it. The FBI or a similar national law enforcement organization seems to claim that access to the computer has been restricted. The usage of pirated software, distribution of child porn and copyright infringements are most often brought up as grounds for these restrictions. “Seems” is the keyword here, because a malware infection, not an official law enforcement organization, is responsible. mc@emsisoft.comSun, 20 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.emsisoft.com/en/kb/articles/news130110"Is my anti-virus software capable of permanently protecting my PC?"
