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. ...
Relevant Knowledge
It can be difficult to distinguish between genuine online applications and forums, such as the Relevant Knowledge online market research service. This service is used to conduct online surveys on topics which are potentially of interest to the Internet community. The responses to Relevant Knowledge surveys are used to help determine the needs and content Internet users have and want. The problem with Relevant Knowledge comes in where it records a history of PC users’ Internet use. ...
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. ...
