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