SpyMaxx – a dangerous rogue on the loose
SpyMaxx is a new and dangerous rogue anti-spyware program that uses misleading advertising and scare tactics to convince users of their legitimacy. The tools of SpyMaxx infiltration are traditional among rogues: it’s trojans, such as Zlob and Vundo. When inside, SpyMaxx harasses the user with pop-ups and false system notifications, hoping to persuade her into purchasing the “licensed version†of the parasite, which is, in fact, the same variation as the “trial†(in the sense that it doesn’t do anything useful), it just costs around $50.
