Watch out for SpyAway, PerfectCleaner & more!

March 9th, 2007 by AndyAtHull

The new rogues go by the name of SpyAway & PerfectCleaner. And as you can imagine both these are in no way perfect. Both from ESTDOMAINS INC.

PerfectCleaner:

The EULA for both are the same as previous rogues and just tell you a load of blab. The whois for SpyAway and PerfectCleaner are also the same, more than likely fake addresses and e-mail. And our good old “buds” (cough) EstDomains get a mention!

You’ll probably get these from a fake codecs, or some other way they may have come up with (new or old). But you need to avoid these. If you couldn’t, then simply get yourself into our forum and register to get free assistance in removing them. You can also discuss it here in more detail.

    How do you get your money back? My husband fell for it and now they have our bank account info and 50 dollars of ours. Any info on how to get money and/or account removed from their info.?

    Hello Carmen,

    Unfortunatly getting your money back will be highly unlikely. However to avoid more money from getting taken you should check with your bank and possibly be prepared to change it.

    There is a forum where you can voice your opinion too about this.

    Other than that, there isnt a great deal you can do. Just prepare yourself and check with your bank and go from there.
