Top Threats

May, 2006
SpyAxe, Spyware Strike, SpyFalcon
These fake anti-spyware programs continue to be the #1 threat on the internet. They claim to detect spyware on your PC, install trojans, and nag you into buying their software (which does nothing). Very difficult to remove. These products are effective at removing SpyAxe and its variants:

Spyware Doctor
Spyware Eliminator
CounterSpy

Spy Sheriff
Another bogus anti-spyware program which takes over your computer and nags you to buy their software. Virtually impossible to remove by hand. Nag screens will display even if a screen saver is running, ruining plasma displays.

Spyware Eliminator
CounterSpy
Spy Sweeper

Perfected Security
This spyware program redirects Internet Explorer to perfectedsecurity.com, a site that attempts to scare people into buying bogus antispyware products.
