New Rogue: SpywareFighter
Spyware Fighter is yet another fake spyware remover. The main aim of this parasite is to collect money from naive people using well known frighten tactics. It is obvious that Spyware Fighter is unable to remove or detect any kind of infections, because it is an infection itself.
SpywareFighter can be downloaded from www.spyware-fighter.com which is a malicious website, but mainly, this parasite enters the system using trojan viruses. Once installed and active, Spyware Fighter performs fake system scan and floods the computer with pop-up windows and alert notices about various infections. Of course , those infections were made up in order to scare the user, hopping that he will buy full version of SpywareFighter for infecions removal. The truth is that SpywareFighter is worthless application and should be removed upon detection, otherwise it may cause even more pesky notifications and alerts.
