The easiest way to avoid an unexpected computer repair is to be wary and mistrustful of anything you see online asking you to install additional software onto your computer.
While searching for web content we were presented with the above captioned web site asking us to install “Extreme Flash Player”. As a computer service center we see infected computers on a daily basis, along with computer owners seeking virus removal in Milwaukee who are dismayed that their antivirus product didn’t prevent the infection. When it comes to trojan-horse programs, the very nature of having a computer means that at some time or another you will need to install software on it– so the computer must allow this to happen. As computer users we need to be aware of what we are installing and cannot expect anti-virus software to know the difference between something we are installing because we know what it is and we need it, and something that the computers user has just been tricked into installing. For this reason every computer comes with something called User Account Control shown here. User account control has been designed by Microsoft as a last line of defense against malicious software and gives you the opportunity to take one last look at what it is that you’re installing on your computer.
Given that the web site we just went to told us to install “Extreme Flash Player” should be the first point that arouses our suspicion. The user account control dialog box then tells us that we are about to give control of our computer to “Guangzhou Shibei Information Technology Co. Ltd”. At this point a computer user must decide whether they trust what they’re being told to install as clicking “Yes” will give full control of the computer over to the software that you’re installing. Unlike viruses, Trojan Horses are programs that the computers user has chosen to install and this is how malicous software gets installed onto peoples computers. Clicking yes on the User Account Control dialog box shown here will give any program full access to your computer be it a malicious program or not.

There are a number of different products on the market that are designed to remove Trojan Horse software and thus avoid a potentially costly computer repair bill, but the best solution is always going to avoidance. Trojan horses are not specific to the PC and Mac, Tablet and Cell phones are equally susceptible to them. There is no computer that is immune to infection and damage if the computers user is willing to install unchecked code onto the machine. The moral of this story is not to rely on anti-virus software to protect you from malicious software.

Anything appearing in the web browsing window itself if more likely to be malicious and should not be installed.
