Viruses are ever-evolving and ever-increasing. Fact! How do I know this? Well, in the last few hours alone, I have stumbled across three
new PC parasites, and this is the latest: Antispyware Soft.
So, what is Antispyware Soft?
Antispyware Soft, also known as AntispywareSoft and Antispyware Soft Demo, is the latest rogue optimization software that was designed to display false and exaggerated results, as a means to coerce a user into purchasing the full version software. Having hailed from the rogueware family associated with: Antivirus Soft and Antivirus Suite, this parasite is no stranger to malicious tactics.
Antispyware Soft is installed under deceptive pretences, infiltrating the user’s PC without their approval or knowledge. Antispyware Soft is advertised through the use of advertisements that pretend to be online scanners.
Antispyware Soft then prompts the user to download and install Antispyware Soft, so as to attempt to create a solution and fix the user’s computer. These scanners, though, are also scams and have no way of knowing what is running on your computer and thus should actually be ignored.
