              \n
            • Freeware or shareware<\/strong>: Did you download and install shareware or freeware? These low-cost or free software applications may come bundled with spyware, adware, or programs like Antivirus Live.

            • Peer-to-peer software<\/strong>: Do you use a peer-to-peer (P2P) program or other application with a shared network? When you use these applications, you put your system at risk for unknowingly downloading an infected file, including applications like Antivirus Live.<\/li>\n
