From there it will automatically change files on your computer so that it will have permission to run automatically every time your computer boots up and will run silently in the background.It can start using it's scare tactics by popping up on your screen at unexpected times displaying messages that your computer is currently infected by viruses, malware or spyware. Sometimes it will even tell you that your computer is under attack by an external source.
