PCAntispyware2010 -- Another Bogus Antispyware Tool
PCAntispyware2010 is another rogue security program, and is from the same family as PC Security 2009 and Home Antivirus 2010. This malware is promoted through the use of Trojan Braviax, and advertises itself to the user as a legitimate antispyware tool, constantly warning of security threats and parasites that supposedly exist. Of course, this is just one more effort to convince the user to purchase the full product.

PCAntispyware2010 may install on your PC in a variety of ways. These applications usually install without the knowledge or permission of the user. When does this happen? The most common methods of getting this malware on your computer are by downloading other programs, visiting questionable websites, P2P networks and spam emails. Although you won't be aware when it does install, you will see the symptoms quickly, which will alert you to a problem.

Most rogue security programs have the ability to change network settings, and disable or delete system files that you must have in order for your computer to work properly. They also use up a tremendous amount of system resources and memory, so you will no doubt notice that your PC has become slow, or freezes up. In severe cases, it may even crash. If you are receiving never ending security alerts and pop-up ads, you probably have malware on your PC.

PCAntispyware2010 will also track your online activities in order to collect information about your interests, as well as private information. Your passwords and other business data may be at risk, and this information may be sold to third parties. PCAntispyware2010 is not capable of scanning your computer for threats, so any results are false. It cannot detect threats, nor can it remove anything. Purchasing this malware is a complete waste of good money.

If your computer does become infected with PCAntispyware2010, you may be tempted to try to remove it yourself. Manual removal is risky, and can damage your computer. It involves halting all running processes and detecting related files and values, which is very difficult. These files easily hide from the user, making them nearly impossible to locate.

Are you convinced that PCAntispyware2010 has been installed on your computer? Click here now for a scan with Spyzooka, the only antispyware tool that guarantees 100% removal of all parasites, trojans and other security threats.
