What is LifeLongPC ?

LifeLongPC is a recently relesed rogue anti-spyware program – a fake spyware remover, which uses malicious tactics to extort money out of gullible users. Just like most other rogues, LifeLongPC makes it’s way to the system by using trojans, such as Zlob, which disguise themselves as browser video codecs. The trojan’s most important function in promoting rogues is it’s campaign of disinformation: the user if flooded with popups and fake system notifications, which kindly inform him that he is infected. This information is invariably false, but creates the reason for the user to purchase a spyware remover to dispose of the problem.

Their website is quite terrible: there are overlaping layers of text, the content is copied from somewhere else and there is no contact information available. Their unnamed payment system is not affiliated with any legitimate payment processing systems, which clearly indicates what a scam LifeLongPC really is.
