AntiAdd is Anti Security!
Topic: Anti-Spyware
AntiAdd simulates a system scan and reports fake threats and infections to the user.  This rogue security program works like most other malware.It displays constant security warnings in an effort to scare you, so that you believe there are dangerous parasites and spyware on your PC.  This is all an attempt to get you to purchase the full product, which is completely useless.

These aggressive warnings and alerts are meant to persuade you to scan your PC with the scan they offer so that infections can be detected and then removed.  What you are not informed of is that after the scan completes, you must purchase the product in order to remove the spyware or other parasites that are found.  These supposed threats are made up, and most likely you have no infections.  AntiAdd cannot scan your PC, or detect anything whatsoever.

Signs of malware

How will you know if AntiAdd or any other spyware is on your PC?  There are some usual symptoms that usually alert you to a problem.  Your PC may become very slow or unstable, seeming almost to "freeze up" at times.  Constant pop-up ads and security warnings are another sign, along with a changed home page or new icons in your system tray.  Your browser may also send you to strange websites.

What AntiAdd can do

AntiAdd, like most other spyware, actually "spies" on what you do when you are online.  It tracks the searches you perform and the websites you visit.  Your personal information may be accessed as well, leaving you vulnerable to identity theft.  All of these things may be transmitted to third parties, who can then advertise to you by targeting your interests.

How did your PC get malware?

If you have some of the symptoms of spyware but wonder how it got there, here are a few ways it may have happened.  Spyware often installs when you download other programs, share networks or visit malicious websites.  You may get it simply by downloading music or freeware, or by clicking on links in spam e-mails.

When you decide that you have a problem, you should do something about it at once.  If you have AntiAdd, remove it before the problems get worse.  You can do this manually, but this poses a high risk of severe damage to your PC unless you really know what you are doing.
