Beware Of Rogue Anti-Spyware Malware

Beware Of Rogue Anti-Spyware Malware

Yes, it’s true. Many malware producers are making their living on creating both a problem and its solution. Malware masquerading as anti-spyware software is nothing new, but the number of people who are getting burned by rogue anti-spyware software is growing.

Anti-spyware software may have all of the characteristics of the spyware you’re trying to get rid of. It promises to do something you want. It preys upon unsuspecting consumers. It looks completely legitimate. It may even be freely downloadable.

Rogue Anti-Spyware Poses A Big Problem

What does rogue anti-spyware do? The same things that regular spyware does. Its effect may range from trying to make you believe (falsely) you have spyware loaded on your computer and need additional (usually worthless) products. It can also download all kinds of adware, Trojans and other malware that the rogue program can then “discover” and “fix.” (Or not.)

The rogue anti-spyware program relies on the fact that many people don’t differentiate between anti-spyware products, assuming instead that all anti-spyware programs are equally capable. It also relies on our seemingly innate desire to get something for nothing.

So how big is the rogue anti-spyware problem? Big and growing. Analysts believe that there are hundreds of rogue anti-spyware programs in the open right now. The fact remains that no matter how strongly consumers are warned about “free downloads” some users won’t carefully research these software packages before downloading them to their computers.
