What is SecurityFighter?

SecurityFighter is a fake spyware remover which is completely useless and can’t do any good for the computer. Security Fighter is known to be made by the same scammers who are responsible for authoring SafetyKeeper, SoftSafeness and SaveArmor, therefore you shouldn’t be surprised that it uses similar tactics to these rogues. In a classic rogue move this parasite tries to make the user think it is a legitimate application worth downloading in order to secure the system. It should be noted that in order to install the “full version” of SecurityFighter, the user has to pay.

SecurityFighter is usually installed by trojans without receiving permission from the user. This rogue anti-spyware creates files, which are later marked as threats upon completion of the scan. To deceive computer users even more, SecurityFighter continuously displays pop-up ads about the issues the system might have. Finally, this rogue anti-spyware recommends the “ultimate” tool – the “full” version of SecurityFighter, which needs to be purchased, of course.

To sum up, please do not follow any suggestions, presented by this application because it just tries to steal your money. There is only one parasite on your PC and it is SecurityFighter. It is highly recommended to use a reputable anti-spyware to remove Security Fighter as soon as possible.

SecurityFighter 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 SecurityFighter can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads SecurityFighter trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, SecurityFighter offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, SecurityFighter 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 SecurityFighter, 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 SecurityFighter, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.

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

Numerous undesirable and annoying pop-ups: A typical Rogue Anti-Spyware parasite keeps track of your internet browsing habits, sending your browsing history data to remote servers, owned by third party companies that use this information to advertise their products via numerous pop-ups, toolbars, hijacked homepages and spam letters. 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.
