How did I get infected with Security Bytes 2015?

Security Bytes 2015 is a typical bogus anti-virus program that slithers into your system via the usual deceptive methods, as it doesn’t need your permission to enter your system. Also, more often than not, the infection is passed on through the use of compromised websites. Once you click on them, you get the not-so-exclusive opportunity to see how a program that is not capable of doing system scans, not only successfully does one, but also finds a ton of potential threats that your regular AV program missed. Like, Calculator, Skype, Notepad; basically everything on your PC. Sounds suspicious, right? Well, that’s because it’s all a stunt designed to trick you into believing the infection and paying for the program.
