Say Bye-Bye to VirusBye

August 21, 2009 at 3:16 am · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , ,

You guess it – VirusBye is another rogue security program that is designed to take your money, and give you nothing in return. This fake performs like all of the others. Constant security alerts are displayed in an attempt to make the user believe their PC is infected with all sorts of things. In all honesty, these applications often do look very authentic, so it is difficult to determine the good from the bad.

VirusBye is incapable of scanning your PC or detecting and removing anything at all. If the user believes the warning messages and downloads the free scan, the results they will receive are false. At this point, the application is placed on your computer, and VirusBye is an infection itself that must be removed once detected. Most of these rogue security programs place additional malware on your PC, causing the problems to become worse as time goes on.

Various malware applications can cause varying security risks, some very high. Most will collect information related to your online activities in order to sell this information to third parties. Your personal data may be at risk as well, such as passwords and online business information. Your computer can suffer damage, as VirusBye may disable system files that are needed in order for your PC to properly function. The hard drive may be affected, and system performance will suffer greatly. These programs use a great deal of system resources, which cause your PC to become slow or even crash in worse case scenarios.

Pop-up ads, browser redirection, and a changed home page are other symptoms that should alert you that something is wrong. When you begin experiencing these symptoms, realize that there is a problem and remove it at once to avoid further damage. VirusBye may have installed on your PC when you downloaded another program, though you would not be aware of it at the time. Unknown websites and links in spam emails are other common culprits.

You may be tempted to remove VirusBye manually, but doing so may cause further damage. In order to do this, you must locate all related files and stop any processes that are running. Locating the files is a problem, because they hide from you and are sometimes impossible to  find. When manual removal is not done properly, you risk severe damage to your PC.

If you suspect that VirusBye resides on your computer, click here now for a scan with Spyzooka. It will automatically detect malware and other parasites, then completely remove them so that your security is restored.

SpySheriff Should Be Arrested!

August 14, 2009 at 6:39 am · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , ,

Supposedly, SpySheriff is an award winning spyware removal tool that helps you fight key loggers, trojan horses, password thieves, spyware and all sorts of things. What a crock! SpySheriff is a rogue security program that operates like most others. Through incessant advertising that your computer is infected with security threats, the makers hope to make a sale. In effect, they want your money and you get nothing.

Like all other malicious applications, these warning can look very real and intimidating to the user. You may be inclined to run the free scan, but don’t do it. When you do, SpySheriff will install on your PC and cause problems. It cannot scan your computer in the first place, so obviously it cannot detect or remove anything either. It is an empty product with no use. SpySheriff may place even more malware on your PC, which you definitely do not want.

In the event that it does get installed, what should you look for? It will be pretty obvious. Other than pop-up ads that never seem to cease, your PC will most likely become slow, and your browser may redirect to unknown websites. The reason your computer performs sluggishly and doesn’t seem to be operating efficiently is because like other malware, SpySheriff runs constantly in the background. This uses up a good portion of your operating system and memory, making everything else you attempt to do slow.

Other than downloading the scan SpySheriff offers, you may have gotten it placed on your PC some other way. Commonly this happens when you download other files, such as freeware, music and videos. It may also come from visiting websites where the security is in question, or clicking on links in spam emails. Be careful when you browse!

You may consider removing SpySheriff manually, but think twice before you do. This is a complicated process that could leave your computer damaged even more if done improperly. This procedure involves detecting and deleting all related files, which is difficult because these files hide from you.

Do you believe that SpySheriff has been placed on your PC? Click here now for a scan with Spyzooka, the only antispyware tool that promises to remove 100% of parasite, trojans and other security threats with just one scan. It works, or you get your money back!

Remove Reg Sweep

August 7, 2009 at 7:00 am · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , ,

Reg Sweep is a rogue antispyware program that is designed to extort money from gullible users. Through convincing security alerts, this product attempts to scare users into believing their PC is infected with security threats, and that purchasing the product is a good solution. Save your money, and do not download the scan. Doing so may put your PC and personal information at risk.

Although the security alerts that you see do look very real, Reg Sweep is a hoax, pure and simple. It will appear to scan your computer, then display results of the infected files. This program has no ability to scan your PC, so the results you see are fakes. Of course it cannot detect or remove anything either. Once you spend your money, don’t expect to get a refund.

Do you wonder where you may have come in contact with Reg Sweep? Often it is installed by trojans such as Vundo or Zlob when you download other files such as video, games or freeware. You don’t realize it has been installed at the time, because it hides from you in the background. Once you begin noticing that your PC is performing poorly or you get bombarded with pop-up ads, you may have a problem.

Other symptoms of Reg Sweep are browser redirection and a changed home page. This malicious application can track what you do when you are online. It may collect information such as your search queries, the websites you visit, and even personal data such as passwords and credit card numbers. This information may then be sold to third parties, who may send you more pop-up ads and spam emails. Prompt removal is highly recommended.

Reg Sweep and other rogue antispyware programs can carry high threat levels, and potentially cause serious damage to your PC. This is why you should remove it as soon as you realize it resides on your computer. While manual removal is possible, it is certainly not advised unless you are highly skilled in detecting and removing related files. Even then, it is not an easy task.

Do you believe that Reg Sweep is installed on your PC? Click here now for a scan with Spyzooka, the only antispyware application that removes every trace of infections, trojans and other security threats in a single scan – and it’s 100% guaranteed!

I Narrowly Avoided the Anti Malware Suite Scam

August 1, 2009 at 8:06 am · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , , , , , , ,

It wasn’t too long ago that I didn’t really think much about my computer’s safety. I thought it was good enough to stick to websites that I thought I could trust. I was very wrong about this though. It wasn’t until my computer became infected with Anti Malware Suite that I really started to become concerned with my computer’s health.

I don’t know when it happened, but at some point my computer became infected with Anti Malware Suite. I had noticed my computer slowing down but I thought that it was just because the memory was being used up. But when I started getting popup ads I knew something was wrong.

I was getting annoyed with the pop-ups when something else popped up. It was a warning telling me that my computer had been infected with malware. I was advised to allow Anti Malware Suite to scan my computer. I clicked “OK” but started to realize that I had never heard of the program before. While the scan was still going on, I opened my browser and did a search on the program.

My fears had been confirmed. I was in the middle of a scam and this program was after my money. I minimized the browser and saw the results of the scan telling me that my computer was infested. I didn’t take its next advice to buy Anti Malware Suite. Instead, I decided to buy a real antispyware program to delete this rogue and protect my computer from malware.

I did a search online and found a few promising applications, but there was one that stuck out among the others. SpyZooka seemed the most trustworthy and the most effective. I gave it a try and it found several infections including Anti Malware Suite, two Trojans, a few adware programs, and several spy cookies. I went ahead and paid to register the program and soon had all of the infections removed.

What struck me as promising about SpyZooka was that was an award winning program that had received high ratings on Tucows. I liked the company because they were members of the Better Business Bureau, and I know they require a certain standard of business practice. On top of this, SpyZooka was the only legitimate antispyware that was guaranteed to remove 100% of spyware. And it has lived up to this promise. My computer has been running wonderfully and has been spyware and malware free ever since.
