What is SpyAssault?

SpyAssault is a rogue anti-spyware program. It is somewhat different from the others, since it not only masquerades to be a spyware scanner, but also installs spyware (Favouriteman, to be more precise) on your computer. SpyAssault is a big threat to your privacy and should under no circumstances be installed.

SpyAssault 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 SpyAssault can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads SpyAssault trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, SpyAssault offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, SpyAssault 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 SpyAssault, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install SpyAssault, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.

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


How to tell if your PC has been infected by a Rogue Anti-Spyware such as SpyAssault?

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.
