What is Rogue Antispyware?
Rogue antispyware is a type of misleading application, which employs deceitful and disruptive tactics to try to persuade people to supply payment information. At best these programs are simply annoying. At worst they are intrusive and damaging. Some programs simply try to scare people by claiming their PC is infected with spyware or viruses, when it isn’t. Others will use registration reminder pop-ups, hoping people will think they intended to download and purchase the product, and then enter payment details. There are also rogue antispyware programs which will display pornographic material on PCs or prevent people from accessing their files, then claim that purchasing the application is the solution. Whenever choosing an antispyware or antivirus program, we recommend that you choose one which is proven, and has genuine awards from one or more world leading research labs, such as PC Magazine, PC World, CNET, PC Pro Magazine, PC Authority, and PC Answers.
