noreply@blogger.com (Andy Stone Cold) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 01:35:00 +0700

All malicious software is dangerous to both your computer and to you. Not only does it harm your computer and slow it down, but it puts your personal information at risk. This can result in identity theft and a loss of money. That is why antispyware is so very important. However, on top of all the other bad things out there, there are programs like Pro Antispyware 2009 that are seeking to trick you out of your money.

Pro Antispyware 2009 is a rogue antispyware program that is very well done. The cyber criminals obviously spent time designing this one. It has a sleek, professional look as does the home page for the software. It gives plenty of information about what antispyware is and makes many false claims as to the effectiveness of the product. The site even claims that the rogue has won awards for its excellence.

These false advertisements are extremely misleading. The product is obviously not excellent since another of its promulgation methods is to use Trojans to secretly infect computers. It will infect a computer secretly and without the user’s consent. This is highly unethical behavior.

Once it has infected a computer with its “trial version,” Pro Antispyware 2009 will try to perform a fake scan of the system. It will present the user with a falsified list of infections and urge the user to purchase the “full version” in order to have the threats removed. Though this is a common practice with legitimate antispyware, the so-called full version is completely powerless to remove any infections whatsoever.

Instead of being a useful and helpful program, this rogue actually downloads more and more malware. The effects of all this malware will cause the infected computer’s Internet connection to slow and it will decrease the computer’s working speed. This product is a nothing more than a scam, a waste of money, and a serious threat.

In order to properly remove Pro Antispyware 2009 and all the other malware that it downloads, it is wise to use a legitimate antispyware application. Before you download anything, look into all claims regarding awards and high rankings. Make sure that the company that makes the antispyware is for real and trustworthy. You should also look for antispyware that is guaranteed to remove 100% of spyware. Follow this advice and you will eventually find yourself a program that will give your computer the kind of protection it deserves. It will remain safe and so will your personal information.

Protect Your Computer from ProAntispyware2009 and Cyber Criminals

noreply@blogger.com (Andy Stone Cold) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 01:34:00 +0700

Cyber crime is an ever growing problem. The criminals that work to cheat people out of their money are getting better at what they do and more and more people are falling for their wily tricks. One of their latest creations is a program called ProAntispyware2009. This program is extremely dangerous because it won’t just take your money. It will also cause a lot of damage to your computer.

ProAntispyware2009 is a rogue antispyware program that makes a lot of promises that it never fulfills. Though it does a really good job of pretending to be helpful, it will actually download malware onto the computer it has infected. This malware can cause a wide range of problems for the user including slowing the computer’s processing to snail-like speeds.

This rogue has plenty of ads online that use deceitful tactics and lie to potential victims. Many people have willingly downloaded it thinking that they were getting some protection for their computer. However, ProAntispyware2009 quite often infects computers through a Trojan horse. The Trojan will download and install this rogue without the user’s knowledge or permission.

Once the program has been installed on a computer, it will generate false security warnings and try to get the user to allow a scan to be executed. If allowed, the scan will bear fictitious results. These results will then be used to scare the user into paying for the so-called “full version” of the miscreant program. If the user buys into the lies, then they will have wasted their money, put their personal information at risk, and invited a slew of malware to infect their computer.

If you have willingly downloaded ProAntispyware2009, been secretly infected with it, or simply want to prevent it from infecting your computer then this is what you should do. Find yourself a legitimate, quality antispyware application. This may be a little difficult because there are so many scams out there. But if you follow some simple guidelines then you can save yourself a lot of trouble.

First, you should look for an antispyware application that is guaranteed to remove 100% of spyware. When you have found one, research its credentials. If it makes claims about high ratings, check the sight that supposedly rated it. You should also look into the company that makes the program and be sure that you can trust them. If there isn’t any information on them, then you shouldn’t trust them. If the program lives up to these simple rules, then your computer will be in good hands and so will your personal information.

CoreGuard is a Serious Threat to Your Computer

noreply@blogger.com (Andy Stone Cold) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 01:33:00 +0700

Every year cyber criminals make millions of dollars off of naïve people who fall for the scams they create. One of their favorite tools is rogue security software like CoreGuard. People know they need to protect their computers but end up placing their trust in a program that they know little or nothing about. Don’t end up as a victim of an online scam. Learn a thing or two and protect your computer with a trustworthy program ahead of time.

CoreGuard is a rogue antivirus application that makes a lot of promises that it never follows through on. There are many false advertisements online that make a lot of false claims, but they have ulterior motives as well. Some of these ads load a Trojan onto your computer when you click on them. If you don’t willingly download the rogue program, then the Trojan will do it for you.

Though you may not have any clue that it is happening, the Trojan horse will download and install software without your permission. Then, you will start to receive misleading security alerts. The alerts will say that there are unauthorized programs on your computer that could harm it. Though this will be true, the warnings won’t be talking about the fake antivirus software.

You will then be urged to allow a scan of your system to be conducted. Even if you don’t agree to it, whenever you log into Windows the scan will automatically begin. The results from the scan will inevitably point to whatever security apps you have on your computer and say that they are malignant. It will be recommended that you register the trial version so that the so-called threats can be removed.

The full version of this program is horrible. It doesn’t offer any protection whatsoever and even if it had the capability to remove programs, it would remove whatever security measures you had in place. The program will cause your Internet connection to slow down and will assail you with popups. Your computer’s performance will even be stifled, making it difficult to do anything.

In order to restore your computer to its previous healthy state, and maybe even get it to a better state of health, you should find a trustworthy antispyware program. When you are looking for an antispyware app, you should be sure to research the company that created the program. Even if an antispyware is legitimate, you should make sure that it is guaranteed to remove 100% of spyware. If it can’t do that, then your computer could still be at risk. Don’t leave your computer open to malware. Get legitimate 100% protection.

Get Complete Protection from Antispy2008

noreply@blogger.com (Andy Stone Cold) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 01:32:00 +0700

If you are in the market for a quality antispyware application then you should avoid Antispy2008. In fact, you should really be careful when selecting the program that you want to defend your computer from spyware, adware, and other malicious software. There are a lot of fake security programs in cyber space that are just waiting for someone to take advantage of.

Antispy2008 is a rogue antispyware program that behaves just like so many other rogues. It has a sleek, attractive interface and it promises to be able to protect your computer. However, it generates false security reports, performs fake system scans, and presents the infected user with falsified scan results. It uses those results to scare and pressure the user into paying for the full version of its useless product.

Like many other rogue security applications, Antispy2008 typically infects a computer by way of a Trojan horse. The Trojan will infect the computer then download the nefarious antispyware without the user’s knowledge or permission. This is a very unethical practice. It then proceeds with the scamming process to try and persuade the user to register the product.

The full version of this product is just as useless as the trial version. It only slows computer performance and puts the CPU usage through the roof. It will interfere with the Internet connection and will reduce the browser’s security settings. It will only bring about harm instead of removing spyware and preventing harm.

If Antispy2008 has infected your computer, you should remove it as soon as possible. Because it usually uses a Trojan to invade a computer, manual removal should be avoided. You want to remove all of the infections on your computer at once so that they don’t secretly download more malware. In order to do this, you have to find yourself a quality antispyware program that you can trust.

The best way to find antispyware you can trust is to shop around, compare products, and do some research on the company that makes the products. You should look for software that is guaranteed to remove 100% of spyware because you don’t want anything malicious remaining. If you find multiple products that guarantee this, then you should look into the companies that make them. If a company is a member of the Better Business Bureau, then you can be sure that they are ethical and trustworthy. If you follow this advise, your computer should be in good hands and be protected from spyware 100%.

AntiMalwareSuite is a Deceptive and Harmful Thief

noreply@blogger.com (Andy Stone Cold) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 01:30:00 +0700

Some people use their computers recklessly and don’t think about the things they download or where they go. These people are simply ignorant to the fact that a computer can easily be infected with malware like AntiMalwareSuite. Other people know how dangerous the Internet can be and take appropriate measures to prevent infection. If you aren’t one of the former people mentioned, then you should try to be more like the latter ones.

AntiMalwareSuite is a rogue antispyware application that uses deceptive tactics in order to trick people into buying it. It will secretly infect a computer by having a Trojan download it and install it without the user’s permission. Once it is on the computer, it begins to perform its scamming tricks.

The user will be plagued by popup ads that will annoy them to no end. A new icon will appear in the task tray at the bottom of the desktop and it will generate fake security warnings. They will tell the user that their computer has been infected with malware and that they need to buy the full version of the program in order to have them removed. While there may be malware on the computer, the messages advise the user to buy the malicious product.

AntiMalwareSuite may also attempt to run a system scan so that it can present a fraudulent list of infections that are supposed to be on the computer. This list will just be a part of the rogue’s scare tactics. The user will then again be pressured to purchase the full version of the fake security app.

If the infected user were to spend their hard earned money on this rogue, they would only be wasting their money. This program isn’t helpful in the slightest. It causes pop-up ads, slows down the computer’s performance, and decimates the Internet connection. The user’s credit card information will also be in the hands of criminals and that is never good.

If your computer has been infected by AntiMalwareSuite, you should get an authentic antispyware program immediately to have it removed. Before you download or buy the antispyware app, you should be sure that the company that made it is legit. Doing a little research goes a long way toward safety. You should also only get an antispyware app that is guaranteed to remove 100% of spyware. 99% protection isn’t good enough. Get complete protection and help your computer survive for many more years to come.

How Does The System Security Virus Install Itself On Your PC

noreply@blogger.com (Andy Stone Cold) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 01:28:00 +0700

A lot people are finding out their computers are experiencing undue slowdown due to the reality they have inadvertently downloaded a malicious malware application named the System Security Virus or System Security 2009. The consequences of this nasty virus are well authenticated but there is some mix-up as to how this virus is getting past antivirus software already established on home computers and laptops. It now appears even if you have an up to date antivirus protection installed the System Security Virus has a couple of ways to get past your security.

I have had my own bad experience of this virus on my work computer and it caused me a lot of frustration and so I decided to ascertain how I got contaminated with this nasty piece of work. Interpreting assorted other accounts on the internet I discovered the most common way the virus gets established on your PC is through browser security gaps. As I use the latest version of Firefox I ruled this method out and looked at a few of my log files through the windows event viewer. I was able to trace back to see the last thing I installed and ascertained I downloaded a video codec which I needed for a dvd player 4 weeks ago. The codec was from a authentic author (or so I believed) and it installed and worked with no bother. In some manner the System Security Virus piggybacked onto my PC with the codec and never really confronted itself until a couple of weeks afterwards.

Another way the System Security Virus can be established:

Email attachments
Unpatched and out of date Internet web browsers
Bundled with other software products or applications you may install
User installations due to being fobbed along by popups on screen
From external USB drives which have been connected to other computers

I was able to get rid of the system security virus by utilising Anti-Virus PLUS. This also provide protection from additional adware/spyware computer viruss in the future. For a entire list of registers you need to get rid of from your system check out Remove System Security Spyware.

The Need for Internet Privacy Protection

noreply@blogger.com (Andy Stone Cold) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 01:27:00 +0700

Should we be worried about the protection of our privacy on the internet. Are there really thousands of people trying to spy on us, watching our every move. Well perhaps this article will give you a little knowledge of some of the most important issues involved in Internet privacy protection.

So who are all these spies and why are they spying?

Remember internet crime is extremely big, we don't have any exact totals but be assured they are truly astronomical figures in billions of dollars worldwide. Many cyber based crimes are not reported, listed or recorded and sometimes not even noticed. We can only deal in estimates and approximation

All over the internet major crime syndicates are moving or expanding into cyber crime. In places like Brazil, China and Eastern Europe, sophisticated criminal networks have an enormous amount of infratructure in place to support their cyber crime. Engaging in crime on the internet has a couple of huge advantages, very big rewards and very low risk.

Computer hackers or identity thieves will often target the average internet surfer. The professional and sophisticated gangs will also be very careful about HOW they steal from you. Once they have your information, your details then there are literally hundreds of ways to use this. The mad spending spree on a debit card or bank account is easily detectable but how about credit applied for in your name, how about the inoffensive looking direct debit for $30 which is removed every month.

Some of these criminals have gone to incredible lengths to steal your data and information. I have seen a copy of Windows XP from Eastern Europe that looked 100% legitimate, shrink wrapped, certificate of authenticity all included, the only problem was this version of XP was preloaded with trojans, viruses and keyloggers ready to start stealing your details from the first install. As soon as you connected to the internet your passwords and accounts would be mailed to a server on the internet...ouch.

So just as you would lock your doors at home, many are beginning to do the same online. I personally want internet privacy protection because I use the internet to pay bills, do my banking, and lots of other activities which involve both my financial and personal details. Do I really want all these details logged on the internet, and at my ISP for example, well no not really.

You see it's not exactly hard to steal these personal details online. Yes a gang of cyber criminals based in Rio de Janerio can steal from you, even though you've never been to Brazil. When you discover your bank account emptied, what can you do? In reality very little but attempt to get yoru money refunded from your bank or credit card company, either way the criminal himself is very unlikely to pay for his crimes.

How To Completely Uninstall Trend Micro Security/Antivirus Software from Your PC

noreply@blogger.com (Andy Stone Cold) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 01:26:00 +0700

Are you getting error messages when you try to uninstall Trend Micro Security/AntiVirus through the standard Windows Add/Remove Programs? Tried everything you can possibly think of to remove Trend Micro completely off your computer - yet it still pops up every time you turn your computer on day after day?

If Trend Micro software came packaged with your computer when you first bought it (usually a trial version) and now that the trial version has expired - you don't know how to get rid of it.

This is one of the more common problems you might face when trying to uninstall Trend Micro products (in particular the Free version). When you try to uninstall it through the Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs, you will either get an error message telling you it can't be uninstalled or it will tell you that it is uninstalled, yet in fact, when you reboot your PC it’s still there.

Being a free version, it is not usually adequately supported by Trend Micro Inc so if you have tried contacting someone in their support department to figure out how to remove the antivirus software off your computer, chances of getting a relevant answer that could solve your problem instantly is highly unlikely.

Below are the 2 common errors that usually come up:

"An error occurred while uninstalling Trend Micro......"

"...it is being used by other programs".

It's unclear as to why this happens, but most likely some files and remnants of Trend Micro embed themselves deeply into your system making it difficult to remove permanently.

Why Uninstall Trend Micro in the First Place?

The biggest problem is that if you don't uninstall Trend Micro completely from your PC you might not be able to upgrade to a newer version of the antivirus software or won't be able to install a different antivirus product, such as Norton or AVG because your computer keeps detecting the current version of Trend Micro.

Many people also often switch their antivirus programs in search for the one they prefer best. You might be one of these people. If that's the case, you might want to look at Norton, Kaspersky, Nod32 or MacAfee as better antivirus alternatives.

Another reason people want to delete Trend Micro permanently is that it consumes memory as it can slow down your PC quite a bit & takes up a lot of memory. So if you don't need it, you might want to uninstall it. For some reason, it can use up an extremely high amount of system resources - as high as 90% of your computer CPU.
