Rogue Antispyware
What is
it?
Well in simple terms they are FREE spyware
programs on the internet that claim to remove spyware from your
system, but then when you download the program, it actually
INSTALLS spyware on your computer then tells you that you need
to purchase the paid edition in order to remove the
spyware!
THIS IS
A SCAM!
Before you purchase any spyware removers make
sure they are not on this list. Just press on your keyboard
"CTRL" and "F" at the same time and then type in the name of
the spyware remover you want to buy or install. If it's on this
list, then I would suggest you actually checking out the
spyware programs on this site. The reason being is because I
have cross checked ALL the spyware programs on my site and made
sure that they are not on this list of rogue antispywares.
You can learn more about this topic in detail
