WinSpywareProtect - a new rogue
WinSpywareProtect is a new rogue anti-spyware program - a fake spyware remover, which uses scare tactics to convince the user that he is infected and therefore needs a tool to dispose of the infection. These threat reports are obviously fake and meant to mislead the user so he’d buy the “full version” of WinSpywareProtect.
WinSpywareProtect is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block WinSpywareProtect.com using your HOSTS file.
