Friday, December 28th, 2007DriveDefender
Thursday, December 27th, 2007Although DriveDefender poses as a security tool, it‘s nothing more but a scam and a malware. DriveDefender is a computer parasite that is installed secretly; right after getting on a system it launches fabricated security warnings. If user decides to click on such a message, DriveDefender urges to buy full version of this fake anti spyware. This scheme should lead people into paying money for nothing as DriveDefender is not an anti spyware. If you purchase this malware, you lose money and get nothing in return. If you notice DriveDefender warnings on your machine, use DriveDefender removal immediately.
AntiSpyPro
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007AntiSpyPro is a fake anti spyware, it doesn’t work but it urges to pay for its non-existent services. AntiSpyPro is dropped by various trojans like Zlob. Any ‘security tool’ installed by computer parasites shouldn’t be trusted.
AntiSpyPro generates large amounts of fabricated security warnings. This malware also pretends to run a scan on a computer. Scan reports displayed by AntiSpyPro are falsified; it’s just a measure to convince a user that a system is badly infected. After AntiSpyPro displays security notifications a user is prompted to buy full version of this tool, to remove the imaginary infections. Do not purchase AntiSpyPro! Both versions of it are useless.
If your computer is infected with this threat, use AntiSpyPro removal or download anti spyware and run a scan.
