Contrware is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only Contrware can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads Contrware trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, Contrware offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, Contrware does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.

Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as Contrware, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet.

It then proceeds to download or even install Contrware, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.

Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as Contrware, is nearly impossible to remove manually.

All these undesirable advertising methods are used on the victims of Rogue Anti-Spyware.
Changed or new icons: Sometimes, Rogue Anti-Spyware installs unwanted software to a victim’s PC without user’s knowledge and consent. This may lead to slower PC performance and stability, as well as more unwanted programs you can't remove.
