Dangerous Virus is a fake message or popup that is usually created by a fake anti-spyware program to scare computer users into purchasing a full version of the rogue application.
Dangerous Virus reads like this:
Your computer was infected with a Dangerous Virus.
It’s dangerous for your system, some files can be lost and your browser can be slow!
Click OK to download the antispyware program to clean your computer! (Recommended)
