It is very unethical for someone to cheat other people, for example (one that is common during these times), a fake security engine. This fake security engine disguises as an anti-virus program, it pops up when you open
some sites (forums, info, etc.). It will say that your computer is infected with virus and you will to choose if you were to delete this virus or not. If you chose to delete the virus, this program installs itself and cannot be deleted easily, it can only be deleted when you have an already-installed anti- malware program. With this fake security engine installed in your computer, it corrupts the anti-virus(avira, norton, etc.) program that is alredy installed in your computer, it restricts you to go to sites which is related to "anti-malware, anti-virus,etc. ". The main purpose of this program is to earn money by cheating; if you no other choice, and you really want this program to be uninstalled to your computer, they will ask you to pay them, good if you already have an anti-malware program installed already in your computer. Earning money nowadays is very important, but to earn it by cheating or by disturbing others is not right, it is unethical!!

Virus - A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer. The term "virus" is also commonly but erroneously used to refer to other types of malware, including but not limited to adware and spyware programs that do not have the reproductive ability. A true virus can spread from one computer to another (in some form of executable code) when its host is taken to the target computer; for instance because a user sent it over a network or the Internet, or carried it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB drive. Viruses can increase their chances of spreading to other computers by infecting files on a network file system or a file system that is accessed by another computer.
Addware - (ADvertisementWARE) Software that periodically pops up advertisements on a user's computer. It displays ads targeted to the individual user based on key words entered in search engines and the types of Web sites the user visits. The marketing data are collected periodically and sent in the background to the adware Web server. Adware is known as "contextual marketing."
Spyware - Software that secretly gathers information about a person or organization.Any malicious software that is designed to take partial or full control of a computer's operation without the knowledge of its user.
Spam - To mass-mail unrequested identical or nearly-identical email messages, particularly those containing advertising. Especially used when the mail addresses have been culled from network traffic or databases without the consent of the recipients. Synonyms include UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email), UBE (Unsolicited Bulk Email).Trojan - A malicious security-breaking program that is disguised as something benign, such as a directory lister, archiver, game, or (in one notorious 1990 case on the Mac) a program to find and destroy viruses!
Internet Hoax - A hoax is a deliberate attempt to deceive or trick people int he internet into believing or accepting something which the hoaxer (the person or group creating the hoax) knows is false.
