fake software
Rogue security software is software
that uses malicious methods to force computer users to pay for removal
of non-existent spyware or viruses. Rogue software will often install a
trojan horse to download a trial version, or it will execute other
unwanted actions.
In most computers we service, we find unwanted software of some sort.
Effects
The main objective of rogue software makers is to sell a product and make money. This software may display fake Windows dialog boxes warning that your computer is infected and you must download their software to fix the problem. Some software, like SpyAxe will download the trial version automatically without any user action. This is known as a drive-by installation.
detection
Most reputable antispyware programs will detect and remove rogue software. Examples of reputable software can be found on the computer Tips page. However, removal of new, aggressive rogue programs may require the use of advanced professional programs. Manual removal processes may be required because it can take quite a while before the manufacturers of legitimate antispyware programs to learn how to automate the process and incorporate it into their software.
