Virus software adding viruses

peekaboo from from my desk! -

I read somewhere that there are these companies that offer free virus software programs you can download, and if you like it you can upgrade to a better version. Well, when you scan your system, they plant a fake virus on your pc to tell you they found a virus so you buy there better package. Is this true? Can they really do that? Do you know of any ones out there that do that?

Comment #1 zoya from middle of america -

I don't know any but that would not surprise me if some companies did that! It can't be legal but i bet there's loopholes to get around that :( Ugh!

Comment #2 Sam from Net -

I have also wondered about that. It is a possibility but I think it has a risk also. If the owner of the infected PC takes Legal course then there may be some problem.
