Fake AntiSpyware programs
Posted on August 17th, 2008 by potato
I am still amazed how easy it is for people to mistake adware as legitamate programs for removing spyware. An example of this just came to me today as I was cleaning another persons computer. This program was called SpyDefender Pro.
You can tell it definately plays on peoples fears and it can trick many people very easily to give money to them. It was easily removed with a combination of Spybot Search & Destroy and ComboFix.
Good for people to know.
