Does SafeFighter Fight to Protect Your PC?

You have probably already guessed – no, it doesn't. SafeFighter is another rogue security program that installs through the use of Trojans, but can also be downloaded and installed manually. This malware uses aggressive and fake security warnings in order to trick you into believing that your PC is infected, in the hopes that you will be frightened enough to purchase the licensed version of SafeFighter. Don't be fooled. This program is dangerous, and cannot perform any of the actions it claims.

SafeFighter performs fake system scans, then reports harmless files that it has fabricated as infections. These files are not dangerous, so don't be tempted to buy SafeFighter. Contrary to what this rogue proclaims to do, it has no ability to scan your PC, and cannot detect or remove anything. It will bombard you with misleading warnings and pop-up ads, sometimes to the point where you can hardly use your computer at all.

If you did not download SafeFighter yourself, where might it have come from? The most common methods that malware uses to install on your PC is with other files you download, websites you visit, spam emails and P2P networks. Music, videos, and freeware downloads are notorious for having malware 'piggyback' through with them. You won't know the exact moment SafeFighter installs on your computer, but you will no doubt notice the symptoms quickly.

When pop-up ads take over your PC, it starts becoming slow or unstable, or your browser sends you to strange websites, beware. Malware has most likely been placed on your computer, and other signs you may see are a changed home page or new toolbars in your browser. Some malware can block themselves from your antivirus or other security programs so that they will not be detected. SafeFighter may affect your system files, track what you do when you are on the internet, or even access private passwords and other information you want protected. You may think you can remove this rogue yourself, and it is possible. However, it isn't advised unless you are very experienced in this type of process because you risk damaging your computer.

If you suspect that SafeFighter resides on your PC, don't waste any time! Click here now for a free scan with Spyzooka, the only antispyware application that is 100% guaranteed to remove all traces of malware, parasites and other infections automatically.

Windows Smart Security – Be Smart, and Avoid It Like the Plague

When you see the words 'Windows Smart Security', you probably think it would be an authentic security program, right? In truth, it is another rogue security program that guides the user to believe it can detect and remove infections, when in reality it is an infection. Windows Smart Security is malware, and the purpose of the misleading security threats and warnings is to lead you to buy the product, which is completely useless.

If you download the scan that is offered, you will see the results of the scan, which never took place. These files are previously made up by this program for the purpose of being displayed as harmful infections. They are harmless, so don't be alarmed. Windows Smart Security then tells you that in order to remove these parasites you must purchase the full version of the product. This parasite cannot detect or remove anything; it is all a scam.

Hopefully you don't have Windows Smart Security installed on your PC, but if you do, you may wonder how it got there. These things can happen without your knowledge, and when you least expect it. It may have come from a music or video file you downloaded, or from a website that you visited. Spam emails, shared networks and freeware are also common culprits. You may not know exactly when it installs, but you will sure know it is there afterward. The pop-up ads, incessant security warnings and slowness of your PC are hard to miss.

Most malware, including Windows Smart Security, have the ability to perform malicious activities on your PC. They may track what your interests are, and what you do while you are online. This is often so that this information can be sold to third parties, who will then send you spam emails advertising things you may be interested in. Your private information may be at risk as well, so removing these programs quickly is crucial. Additional malware may be placed on your computer, and things will only get worse.

You should not try to remove Windows Smart Security yourself unless you are experienced in the process. All running processes must be killed, and related files and values in the Windows registry deleted. Unless you really know what you are doing, manual removal may cause damage to your PC.

As you are surfing or doing other activities online, you may receive numerous security alerts that look very similar to Windows Security Center, claiming that infections exist and are a threat to your PC. These alerts invite you to download their scan, so that these supposed infections can be located and removed. What they don't tell you is that once you run the scan, you will have to pay for the fully licensed product in order to remove the infected files. Doesn't matter anyway; these results are fake, or simply harmless files.

Home Personal Antivirus cannot do anything it claims. It can't detect infections or remove them. This malicious software is actually malware, exactly what it purports to remove!

Shared networks and spam emails are other places malware often spreads.

Your personal passwords and other business information may be at risk as well.

OmegaAntivir - Sounds Impressive, Right? Not So Fast

If you have been around the internet long, you know that there are many scams at every turn. OmegaAntivir is one of them.

While it does indeed look very authentic, don’t be fooled. The makers of OmegaAntivir simply want your money, just like other malicious programs similar to this one.

OmegaAntivir claims that it will scan your PC to detect infected files and other threats. Supposedly, once these infections are detected OmegaAntivir will remove them, so that security is restored.

It is all an empty promise, designed to trick innocent people into spending their money.

Where might OmegaAntivir come from? Surfing the internet can be a dangerous thing. These rogue security programs often install on your computer to your complete oblivion. Freeware, music and video files, questionable websites and spam emails are common ways to get spy ware. You may also get it if you share networks with others.

You might be tempted to remove OmegaAntivir yourself to save a few bucks, but in the end you are better off getting a legitimate antispyware tool as a reliable remedy. Manual removal is difficult, and could easily result in damage to your PC if not done correctly.
