If your computer has the Smart Security virus, stop clicking its pop-ups and alerts right now. That there are so many of them may make this hard, but trust me. The more you keep clicking, the harder it’ll be to make this fake antispyware leave you alone.

And as far as these crooks are concerned, if they can scam a little money out of you in the process, all the better.

With the Dr. Guard virus, the makers of Paladin Antivirus are back to weird us out with another creepily designed piece of badware. Yes, that is a syringe you see over there by the “System Scan” button, and yes, that android eye in the upper-right corner will hypnotize if you look too long.

On top of being really weird, the Dr. Guard fake antispyware tries to remove your legitimate antivirus software. It sends obnoxious Dr. Guard pop-ups that lie to you about made-up viruses with names like “GayCodec.lookAlert,” and it refuses to leave until you pay for a nonexistent full version.

Don’t let the creepy eye win. Let me show you how to get rid of Dr. Guard for free.

If you have the Antimalware Doctor virus, you’re probably getting tired of clicking that close button over and over only to have this badware keep popping up with its irritating messages and phony scans.

If you have Virus Protector on your computer, don’t be taken in by the minimalist design or the big promises. This is classic fake antispyware, and if you don’t get rid of it soon, you may notice your computer acting weirder and weirder until it finally goes kaput—and I don’t think we want that.

This virus probably got onto your computer through ill-advised downloads, but that doesn’t matter anymore. What matters is that this thing messes with your registry and your browser, spams you with endless Virus Protector pop-ups, and tries to scare you into paying for a registered version.

It’s frustrating, but don’t start salvaging your PC’s parts just yet. Let me show you how to get rid of Virus Protector for free.

The PC Defender virus pretends it’s some magical high-tech virus-zapper from the future, but if you look closely at its design, you’ll see that it’s nothing but amateur-hour fake antispyware. So don’t be fooled by the little spider or the “Cleanup needed!” text. This is a scam.

This badware gets into your computer as a trojan, fills your registry with seriously annoying stuff, and shows PC Defender pop-ups that run fake system scans. The goal is to scare you into paying money for a non-existent full version (or as these geniuses spell it, “full verrsion”), which doesn’t exist.

If you have this pest, keep your credit card far away, and follow these steps to uninstall PC Defender for free.
