Carl runs a site devoted to helping you rid your computer from all sorts of spyware and malware at http://www.spyzooka.com/
All malicious software is dangerous to both your computer and to you. Not only does it harm your computer and slow it down, but it puts your personal information at risk. This can result in identity theft and a loss of money. That is why antispyware is so very important. However, on top of all the other bad things out there, there are programs like Pro Antispyware 2009 that are seeking to trick you out of your money.
Pro Antispyware 2009 is a rogue antispyware program that is very well done. The cyber criminals obviously spent time designing this one. It has a sleek, professional look as does the home page for the software. It gives plenty of information about what antispyware is and makes many false claims as to the effectiveness of the product. The site even claims that the rogue has won awards for its excellence.
These false advertisements are extremely misleading. The product is obviously not excellent since another of its promulgation methods is to use Trojans to secretly infect computers. It will infect a computer secretly and without the user’s consent. This is highly unethical behavior.
Once it has infected a computer with its “trial version,” Pro Antispyware 2009 will try to perform a fake scan of the system. It will present the user with a falsified list of infections and urge the user to purchase the “full version” in order to have the threats removed. Though this is a common practice with legitimate antispyware, the so-called full version is completely powerless to remove any infections whatsoever.
Instead of being a useful and helpful program, this rogue actually downloads more and more malware. The effects of all this malware will cause the infected computer’s Internet connection to slow and it will decrease the computer’s working speed. This product is a nothing more than a scam, a waste of money, and a serious threat.
In order to properly remove Pro Antispyware 2009 and all the other malware that it downloads, it is wise to use a legitimate antispyware application. Before you download anything, look into all claims regarding awards and high rankings. Make sure that the company that makes the antispyware is for real and trustworthy. You should also look for antispyware that is guaranteed to remove 100% of spyware. Follow this advice and you will eventually find yourself a program that will give your computer the kind of protection it deserves. It will remain safe and so will your personal information.
