Hoax
A hoax is a fake warning about presence of viruses or other malware on a user’s computer. Typically, a hoax is spread in the form of an e-mail message warning the reader of new dangerous viruses and inducing the recipient to forward the message to others. Hoaxes themselves do little harm, but their distribution often causes fear and uncertainty among users.
How Did My PC Get Infected with PayPal?
The following are the most likely reasons why your computer got infected with PayPal:

Downloading and Installing Freeware or Shareware

Spyware frequently piggybacks on free software into your computer to damage it and steal valuable private information.
