The virus installed previously another small malware that hijacked the internet browsers and after that you were sent to the hacked website where the complete Win 7 Internet Security 2012 virus bundle was stored.

After the fake scan is finished, you will be told that if you wish for it to delete all those infections, then you need to pay for some extra rogue antimalware tools and only after that payment is done the virus will go away. This is a trick and it is very common for such programs to ask for money but you shouldn’t even think of paying for it because you will end up losing the money because the application you are told to buy is a Ransomware infection and your PC will remain in the same state.
