The Complete Rogue Antispyware Directory
Rogue antispyware is fake or phony antispyware that is made to look like real legitimate antispyware software. Most rogue antispyware gets installed on computers through malware and Trojans and the user has no knowledge that the program was even installed until they start seeing warnings all over the place that their PC is infected. But sometimes users themselves install the rogue antispyware because they don’t know what to look for in quality security software.
Rogue antispyware is created to be downloaded onto people’s computers with or without their knowledge, scare the living heck out of them with falsified security warnings and demand payment for the software before fixing the non existent threats.
Besides taking advantage of gullible people who fall for the sneaky scam, rogue antispyware can wreak havoc on a system, making a PC buckle and come crashing to its knees. When rogue antispyware infects a computer the users will sometimes find themselves facing the following issues:
• Visibly slow and sluggish PC
• Constant pop up advertisements
• Internet browser redirecting spontaneously
• Limited or no internet connection
• Endless security warnings made to look like official Windows warnings
Not to mention the possibility of personal data loss to hackers who create and market this corrupt software. When I say personal data loss I’m talking about banking, credit card and login information to secure websites you visit.
Recently a new website has been created that documents all rogue antispyware; it claims to be a complete directory of rogue antispyware:
http://rogueantispyware.blogspot.com
This website is a great one to bookmark and check often for new rogues that come out. Be sure to check out this site and before you download any PC security software, always check to make sure it’s legit and quality software or you may find yourself downloading a rogue which can cause you great pain in the long run.
Keep your PC running fast – say no to rogues!
