Carl runs a site devoted to helping you rid your computer from all sorts of spyware and malware at http://www.spyzooka.com/
SpySpotter sounds like it would spot spyware in order to remove it, right? That's what the hackers who make this rogue security program would like you to think. This malicious application is actually malware that is designed to trick people in to buying a product that has no use or value. Through incessant security warnings and ads, they hope to convince you that your computer is infected with many security threats, and that the only way you can remove these parasites is with the product. Don't fall for it.
Like other malware, this one uses aggressive advertising in an effort to alarm you, so that eventually you will download the scan and purchase the product. Of course, if you do scan your PC with SpySpotter, the results will contain all sorts of supposed infections. These results are fakes, so don't feel that you need the product to get rid of them. This product cannot scan your computer or detect anything. What it can do is perform various malicious activities on your PC, such as placing even more malware on your system.
Most of these rogue security programs have the ability to affect the way your PC performs. They may modify system files, collect private information, redirect you to unknown websites and change your home page. Don't be surprised if your computer becomes slow or unstable, or even seems to be at a point of paralysis at times. This spyware remains resident in the background, and uses a tremendous amount of system resources, which is why your PC is so slow.
Other than downloading rogue software yourself, how does your computer get infected with it? Many common ways are downloading files, visiting questionable websites, and spam emails. Sometimes you get spyware when you share networks with other people. These malicious parasites can sneak through from almost anywhere, and you probably won't know it until you begin having problems. Your passwords, credit card numbers and other business information may also be vulnerable to theft.
If you think spyware is on your PC, there are ways you can remove it yourself, however manual removal is not advised. It can damage your computer when not done correctly, and is a very tedious task. To remove SpySpotter from your PC, you should get a highly reputable antispyware tool that is 100% guaranteed, and will remove all traces of parasites, worms, and other security threats automatically.
