products to choose from, how do you know you are making the right choice?
This article discusses Ransomware, the latest technique used by rogue
anti-spyware products, definitely ones not to choose!
In a nutshell, Ransomware are rogue anti-spyware
products that are peddled by trojans and worms. The process is as follows:
- A trojan infects your
computer
- The trojan then displays
messages stating that your computer is infected
- The trojan proposes a
rogue anti-spyware product the clean your computer, hence the ransom
to be paid!
Below is a list of these rogue anti-spyware programs and their affiliated
trojans:

What should you do if you start receiving
error messages or pop-up advertisements pointing to one of these products?
It is definitely NOT to buy any of these bad products; the answer is to
get rid of the trojan that causes the pop-ups.
We have receive many reports from users
that have tried to remove these trojans using their anti-virus programs
(Norton Anti-Virus, McAfee and others), and although these programs do
detect the trojans, they are unable to remove them. That's why we have
invested a lot of time and effort and came up with a solution which we
have incorporated into our Anti-Spyware program called SpyNoMore. We
actually had to infect several computers with these trojans in order to
analyze their sneaky techniques and derive a solid solution. Among the
techniques used to evade removal, these trojans use randomly named files,
random md5's (file signatures) and mutating files.
SpyNoMore, unlike other (good) anti-spyware
products, does not solely rely on database detection, a process which has
proven highly ineffective against these randomizing trojans. Instead,
SpyNoMore incorporates additional features that enable it to run smart
scans that are not database-dependent. SpyNoMore analyzes and removes
suspicious files based on the activity that the trojans exhibit.
SpyNoMore comes loaded with other
features such as:
- Huge Anti-Spyware
Database guarantees removal of existing infections
- Active Protection
blocks new spyware BEFORE they infect your PC
- Host Blocking
ensures that known spyware-spawning websites are always blocked
- Vaccination feature
inoculates your system against inbound threats
- Ticket-Based HelpDesk
ensures a timely and professional response
- Custom Fix™
(patent pending) is a very powerful system which removes any
persistent infection. Say for instance your PC is infected with a very
stubborn spyware program and nothing that you have tried has helped
remove this infection. SpyNoMore's Custom Fix™ (patent pending)
feature scans your PC and allows you to upload the scan report to our
server for manual analysis by our Technical Staff. Your report will be
reviewed and a customized Fix will be sent back to you via SpyNoMore,
thereby guaranteeing full and permanent removal. No other anti-spyware
software offers such feature!
Best of all, SpyNoMore offers a free scan
and if you decide to remove the detected items the cost is $39.95. That
covers up to 3 PC's for 1 year. Click
