SPYwareREMOVER - Another Rogue Anti-Spyware

February 28th, 2008 by AndyAtHull

Whilst I have the opportunity to blog and catch up on things, I’d thought I’d update you on a new rogue anti-spyware roaming about on the net.

Called SPYwareRemover, this rogue displays a fake alert message and downloads, then instalsl the rogue. Their website also states several key words which can cause confusion and fool computer users into thinking this is a legit and leading application:

Windows® Anti-Spyware and World’s #1 Spyware Remover.

SPYwareREMOVER Site

As the arrows point, the confusion lies within the site to pass it of as something great.

When automatically installed and scanning, it looks like this:

And the guys behind this are non other than C-NetMedia. Ben Edelman has a nice article about them here.

So where do you go if you have had this appear on your system? Good question. We have our own guide linked at the end of this article. But just be careful of removal guides out there which are there to gain financial advantages themselves by purchasing a product in order to remove the infection, SpywareRemover. Our guide is 100% free.

Has this affected you? Then chat to us about this in our forum and put your views out there.
