Windows 10 Users Do not Download "Movie Maker"

For users of Windows OS 10 who want to do video editing, never download the Windows Movie Maker software. Lately it is known that the video editing application made by Microsoft has been forged by irresponsible parties.

Beginning in 2017, Microsoft announced it has stopped the development of Windows Movie Maker which is usually bundled in Windows Essential 2012. Although it has been giving announcements, but it seems not many Windows 10 users know.

Reported by KompasTekno from SlashGear, Wednesday (15/11/2017), some users were surprised to find their Windows 10 without Movie Maker app. The legendary app has been replaced with other video editing software, Story Remix is ​​bundled in Windows 10.

As a result, the Movie Maker fans look for alternative links to keep getting this software, through the Google search engine or Bing.

It is then exploited by irresponsible parties to create artificial applications. They create a page with a convincing look, so many people are fooled into thinking it is the official Movie Maker page.

Www fraud page. windows-movie-maker.org often appear in the top row of Google and Bing search results. Cyber ​​criminals also managed to deceive many people to perform paid downloads.

Initially, this bogus software will ask the user to pay 30 US dollars or the range of Rp 400,000 for the full version, when the software was run for the first time. It will happen repeatedly, when the user wants to save and reopen the video edits.

Unfortunately, despite making repeated payments, the user's work remains unavailable.

This forgery was first noticed by security researchers at ESET. As soon as known, ESET then blocked the website and posted notice to Google and Microsoft about the violations that have occurred.

If this is the way, Movie Maker users are encouraged to switch to other video editing apps.
