If you have ever come across a rogue computer security tool, you probably know that such tools display fake threats. TrojanSPM/LX is an example of how a computer use may be lured into thinking that his or her computer is heavily infected with a dangerous Trojan. This imaginary infection is found in simulated notifications of such bogus programs as System Progressive Protection, System tools and others. Consequently, as rogue antispyware tools are not able to detect, and, of course, remove any computer threats, all the information presented by them should be ignored.
So far, only several different examples of TrojanSPM/LX are known to researchers. The cases are given as follows:

As the aim of rogue products is to make a computer user purchase a full version of a so-called anti-spyware program, typically all pop-up messages contain a statement encouraging the user to activate or update a specific program in order to remove TrojanSPM/LX and other infections. If you find that the Trojan is presented by a suspicious program that has appeared on the PC recently, scan the computer for any threats and remove them as soon as you can.
The easiest way to delete the fake Trojan and the program which is related to the threat is to use a spyware removal application which will do everything for you automatically. We recommend using SpyHunter, because not only is the software able to remove malware, but also to safeguard the computer against future infections.
