How I Avoided Being Scammed by SystemSecurity

I like to think that I am a pretty computer health conscious individual. I know that a computer needs to be protected from spyware so that it doesn’t become useless. I also know that there are fake programs out there like SystemSecurity that try to trick people out of their money. Hopefully, you will learn a lesson from my encounter with a rogue security program and can avoid making a terrible mistake.

My computer had been acting strangely, slowly, and had been plagued with pop-up ads. I had run the antispyware application that I had but the problems only continued. Sure, they would stop for a little while after I had removed some malicious programs, but they would only start up again. I wanted the problems to stop but there didn’t seem to be any end in sight.

There was a flash of hope though. I received a security warning from a program called SystemSecurity. It suggested that I allow it to perform a scan of my computer. I allowed it, though I thought it was strange that this program appeared out of nowhere. When the scan was done, I looked at the results and noticed that some of the so-called malicious files weren’t malicious at all. They were Windows files!

I did a search on SystemSecurity and discovered that it was actually a malicious program itself. I knew then that my antispyware just wasn’t doing the trick and that I needed a new one. I began my search with renewed caution. I wasn’t about to let a rogue program take advantage of me.

I looked into several antispyware programs and compared what they could do. I even looked into the companies that made them. Doing that alone filtered out some less than desirable programs. I eventually decided that SpyZooka was the antispyware for me. Let me tell you that that antispyware was able to find more malware than all the other antispyware that I already had!

What appealed to me about SpyZooka was that it was the only antispyware with a 100% spyware removal guarantee. I knew that I could trust it because the company that made it was approved by the Better Business Bureau. Ever since I have been using SpyZooka, my computer has been free of spyware and has been running much quicker.
