But the real malware can be that free software and the free offer to fix your PC. Those ads and warnings can be fake, and you’ll do more damage to your PC and the security of your personal information if you fall for the offers. That fake software can itself install malware, or at least snatch personal information from your PC and send it to the bad guys.
