Joseph CoxNew from 404 Media: the FTC is suing companies that push fake antivirus. FTC went "undercover", bought software, had calls with company representatives. The software doesn't work/scares users into handing over cash. Has made tens of millions of dollars [!] https://www.404media.co/ftc-goes-undercover-against-fake-antivirus-companies/

✅🎯🙄@josephcox Why write fake Antivirus when you can write something with a pseudo-legit algorithm that spit out "suspicious" ?

Shrug, I had one of included by the laptop maker anti-virus shouting at me after a fresh install that the barbarians are storming the ports of the laptop.
Now the local Wifi was twice NAT-ed, so getting anything to connect from the Internet into it was rather hard work.
So I was fascinated to find that all these attacks were connections from all over the world.
Now, other local Windows PCs full of malware attacking a new sibling. Sure. But that? Handover the card attack.
