A Rogue spyware software is a fake program/website, generally spyware removal software or registry repair utility that uses malicious programs to hijack itself into the computer and frighten the user by flooding the desktop with nonexistent system errors and critical spyware infections warnings.

Most of the Rogue spyware tools infect victims with trojan Zlob or Vundo trojan horses to persuade them to download their free trial program. The free scanner tool is usually bundled with additional trojans that uses loopholes to infect the system with further viruses and spyware parasites.

The trial scan result will list phony preprogrammed spyware and registry error entries (false positives) as very hazardous threats and offer the victims to remove the infections by purchasing the paid version of the rogue program (usually $50). The “paid” version will of course not remove any of the entries; instead it will collect credit card and other sensitive private information and send them to remote servers.

Signs that your computer is infected with rogue spyware:

• Slow internet connection and browser speed
• Hijacked browser start page, desktop wallpaper and toolbar
• Unwanted infection pop up alerts, dialog boxes and system warnings
• Fake desktop tray icons and system shortcuts
• Countless pornographic advertisements
• Strange processes reinstalls after manual removal
• Slow windows boot and shutdown speed

IMPORTANT! Rouge programs are a great threat to your computer; they look very convincing and use professional web designs and software layouts, lots of satisfied customer testimonials, fake awards and 24/7 customer support on their website.

A good rogue website can even confuse experienced security personal, be very careful and always double-check with independent spyware forums before downloading any suspicious registry cleaner or spyware removal tool!
