Protect Shield
It would seem as though the developers of rogue antispyware applications like Personal Shield Pro, MS Removal Tool, Essential Cleaner and System Tool have been hard at work on their latest rogue, Protect Shield. This rogue antispyware application was designed with the same malicious intent of its predecessors, only with more sophisticated infection capabilities. Despite what Protect Shield would like its victims to believe, this rogue does not have the ability to detect or remove any type of threat from the system. ...
Personal Internet Security 2011
It has certainly become nigh to impossible to protect your PC against all unknown and well known threats such as Personal Internet Security 2011 without some type of help. This is why it is crucially important to invest in a properly updated and functional security tool which offers adequate protection against rubbish such as Personal Internet Security. This rogue derives from the same despicable family of rogues as Virus Doctor, and only improves on its predecessor’s attack. ...
Antivirus Scan
Antivirus Scan is a fake computer security program. It is a direct clone of Antivirus Action, even though the interfaces of these two programs look absolutely different. Antivirus Scan is a so-called rogue antispyware which means that it cannot live up to its promises and it only damages computers instead of saving them from malicious infections. Not matter what this rogue might claim; you must not believe it, because you would end up losing all of your money if you follow through the instructions given to you by Antivirus Scan. ...
Privacy Guard 2010
Privacy Guard 2010 has no intentions of guarding your privacy, however corny it might sound. It is a rogue antispyware that only pretends to be a reliable program. In reality, the only thing it wants is your hard-earned money and Privacy Guard 2010 will damage your computer until you run out of patience and pay for it. Privacy Guard 2010 is dangerous in a sense that it copies the name of a legitimate program and it might be hard to tell it apart from the real thing. ...
XP Antispyware 2011
XP Antispyware 2011, Vista Antispyware 2011 and Win 7 Antispyware 2011 are one of these rogues that change their name according to what kind of computer they infect. The name is generated based on the operating system that the targeted computer is running on. XP Antispyware 2011 is exactly the same as other rogues that share similar name, because the malicious code and the interfaces of all theses rogues are completely alike. The only difference is in their names. ...
Win HDD
It can be easy to fall for the seditious lies of rogue defragmenters like Win HDD. This is because of the level of sophistication and time invested into it by their developers, in order to remain competitive in an increasingly hostile online environment. Win HDD does a good job of impersonating a genuine defragger, but the reality is that it does not have the ability to detect or resolve any system error, and it is nothing more than an empty shell and worthless piece of software. ...
XP Guard
Online security is a major industry – and there are criminals who want their part of it, like the developers of XP Guard rogue antispyware application. This rogue derives from a long line of well-known rogues such as XP Internet Security 2010 and Antivirus Pro 2010. Of course XP Guard will pretend to emulate the workings of a real security tool and attempt to convince its prospective victims of its legitimacy, but at the end of the day this rogue does not have any of the abilities it professes to. ...
Win 7 Internet Security 2011
With all the sophistication invested into fake security tools like Win 7 Internet Security 2011 these days, it has become impossible to protect your PC without some type of help. Win 7 Internet Security 2011 in particular has the ability to alter its properties to fit into its environment, depending on which operating system the user is running. Should the user be running Vista or XP, Win 7 Internet Security 2011 will change its name to suit that specific OS. This makes it even more difficult for the user to identify this rubbish rogue application for the seditious threat that it is. ...
XP Security 2011
A high risk rogue application designed with malicious intent is XP Security 2011, a clone of XP Internet Security 2010 and Win 7 Internet Security 2011. This rogue antispyware application not only originates from a long line of destructive rogues, but has improved on its infiltration tactics making its penetration of the system virtually undetectable. XP Security 2011 will enter the system without the user’s permission and will hide its presence until it is ready to start its attack. This will be heralded by XP Security 2011 initiating a fake system scan each time the user logs on to Windows. ...
Vista Antispyware 2011
There are many security applications available online which profess to be able to do amazing things – but not all these supposed security tools are in fact real, as in the case of Vista Antispyware 2011. This rogue antispyware application was not designed to be of any help to PCs, but instead only to act as a vehicle of destruction with which criminal developers hold PC owners’ systems ransom. Vista Antispyware 2011 derives from the same family as disgraced and despised XP Antivirus 2011 and Windows 7 Antispyware 2011 rogue antispyware tools. ...
