Scam artists are cashing in on the heightened awareness of spyware programs by offering bogus, or rogue anti-spyware programs. Some rogue anti-spyware programs are associated with known spyware distributors.

Rogue anti-spyware programs are known for their illicit installation methods, desktop hijacks or deceptive, aggressive advertising.
