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 SPAMNUKER can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads SPAMNUKER trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, SPAMNUKER offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, SPAMNUKER not only does not fix the errors, but it takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.
