Site Adware 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 Site Adware can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads Site Adware trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, Site Adware offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, Site Adware 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.
