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. ...
System Tool 2011
It has become increasingly more and more difficult to distinguish between genuine and rubbish rogue antispyware applications like System Tool 2011. This rogue in particular is a vicious fake security application which was designed by detestable cyber criminals to trick users into paying for their worthless software.
Once System Tool 2011 manages to securely root itself in the system it will start its attack against the PC by initiating an unwarranted and fake system scan. ...
Think Smart
It would seem as though the developers of the well-known and highly despised Think Point rogue antispyware application have been hard at work on their latest rogue, Think Smart. This rogue, which forms part of the hated fake Microsoft Security Essentials scam, does not have the ability to detect or remove any type of threat from the system, and was designed merely to rip consumers off. ...
Antivirus Action
If you are looking for trouble camouflaged as help, then you have found it with Antivirus Action. This rogue antispyware is the latest clone of the well-known Security Suite scam, and uses completely fake and worthless yet legitimate looking software to trick unsuspecting users into paying for rubbish software. In fact, Antivirus Action will do everything in its power to convince its victims of its legitimacy, but despite all its efforts the fact remains that Antivirus Action is completely incapable of protecting a PC against any type of attack or threat, and is indeed a malicious and harmful threat in itself. ...
