Beware of fake Windows 8 Activators

Now days Windows 8 is in high demand, it usually does not take long before it is being exploited in one way or the other. Bad guys are continuously using the brand to lure users into their ruse. Trend Micro found several websites (are hosted on IPs located in Latvia or Romania.) using Windows 8 as keywords. The first site purportedly offers free Windows 8 activators, which is actually fake. Trendmicro also said that previously, these addresses hosted sites that peddle fake versions of popular mobile apps like Instagram and Angry Birds. These generators are identified by antivirus and security software as malware, which may transmit important data to the hackers or even install a Trojan which will ultimately hand over the control of your PC to the hackers.
