The Scam:
You come across a website that has a secure looking address like security-site-protection.net.... or something like that, and the warning comes up that you've got infections. It looks VERY intimidating as the alarms are going off. Prompts to install the scanner will come up, and are difficult to cancel out of.
Clicking OK, Install, or Run will INSTALL THE VIRUS. Your computer will bog down immensely and you will be continually prompted to purchase some sort of program to "make it all go away".
NOTE: You should NEVER see any infection warnings from any program except for your Anti Virus that is already installed, which is Trend Micro here at school. Any other program warning you about threats, is usually a threat itself.
SOLUTION: If you've come across something similar, please contact me. You are not in trouble, it's not your fault, I just need to remove it before it infects other users. Even if you don't think it installed, I'd like to get the web address blocked.
Here are some images of what they may look like. When you take a closer look, you'll notice some bad grammar and misspelled words that should hint to their unprofessionalism.

Clicking Cancel here will USUALLY avoid the install.
