SpyOnThis
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007SpyOnThis is a dangerous malware but you can find its trial version available to download on web. SpyOnThis advertisements claim it can remove spyware, but SpyOnThis is a computer parasite and it’s definitely not a security tool.
Once installed SpyOnThis urges to buy full version by launching tons of pop-ups and fabricated scan reports. Do not trust this tool! Full version of SpyOnThis is not capable of locating and removing parasites as well as the free version. If you pay for SpyOnThis, you only lose your money. Furthermore, it may download additional malware on a computer, so you should remove SpyOnThis as soon as possible.

WebSpyShield
Monday, October 29th, 2007WebSpyShield is another fraudulent project. It uses the same tactics as many rouge anti spyware tools. WebSpyShield is advertised as legitimate spyware remover with free download of trial version. Avoid downloading this demo version as it won’t work as anti spyware. Furthermore, it demands to purchase the full version of WebSpyShield by displaying annoying pop-ups and fabricated error reports.
WebSpyShield is a malware, it’s not an anti spyware tool. WebSpyShield can be difficult to uninstall once it gets on your computer. If you’ve downloaded this program, use WebSpyShield removal.

MessengerBlocker
Friday, October 26th, 2007Do not download nor buy MessengerBlocker! It’s a corrupt tool known for deceptive advertising tactics. It’s presented as pop-up blocker, but it’s not capable of blocking pup-ups. MessengerBlocker is a part of scam: it urges to pay for full version of this software to see how it works, but it won’t work after you pay.
Remove MessengerBlocker as soon as possible. It can be complicated to delete this rouge tool manually as MessengerBlocker tends to prevent its removal, but it can be removed by anti spyware.
