Are strange things happening on your PC? It may be because Spyware Destroyer or some other malicious application is installed, and you don't realize it. These fake antispyware programs look authentic, and have tricked many people into spending their money on what is a totally worthless product. They are simply rogue security programs that have no ability to help your computer at all.
When you start receiving aggressive notifications through pop-up windows that your computer is infected and security threats exist, don't fall for it. Once you download the free scan, you will see the results which always show numerous and severe infections. These results are totally made up. Spyware Destroyer is not capable of scanning your PC in the first place, and it cannot detect or remove any type of parasite. What it may do is install additional malware on your computer.
Will you recognize if you have become a victim? You won't realize it the minute it installs, but you will see symptoms very quickly. Other than being pounded with pop-up advertisements, there will probably be a noticeable slowing of your PC's performance. Your browser may redirect to strange website, your home page may change, or you may notice new toolbars in your browser that were not put there by you. The danger lies in the software's ability to track your online habits and personal information such as bank account log-ins and credit card numbers.
Where do these malicious applications come from? Usually from files you download such as freeware, music or videos. You may also get malware on your PC by visiting questionable websites. You don't realize it when it happens, because these sneaky devils have the ability to piggy back on other software so that you don't see it. In effect, it “hides” in the background.
If you get Spyware Destroyer or some other rogue antispyware program placed on your computer, you must remove it immediately to avoid further damage, and the possibility of additional malware being placed on your PC. Manual removal is possible, but not recommended, as it is a highly complex procedure. When you have problems with fake applications like this, get reliable software that guarantees 100% removal of infections, worms, trojans and other security threats with only one scan. Don't take chances, get the best there is.
