Can you explain that again, but instead try to incorporate the word "virus" more into the explanation?

Okay, so put simply:

There’s this virus. It’s pretending to be another virus which would make one say “oh no! I have a virus, I need to get an antivirus!” Except, in this case, the antivirus is also a virus; the virus is pretending to be the antivirus, but that’s a virus, so in reality the virus is pretending to be a virus.

The virus is pretending to be a virus to get you to install a virus that’s pretending to be a virus so that you install a virus thinking you’re protecting against a virus when in reality you’re downloading another virus on top of your existing virus, so now you’re being attacked by two viruses: a virus pretending to be a virus, and a virus that is an antivirus.
