What is SpyKill?

SpyKill is a dangerous rogue anti-spyware parasite that started to spread on 5 April, 2007. Its main infection mediums include trojans and web browser security vulnerabilities. Immediately after infection, SpyKill starts to generate numerous pop-up security messages that offer you to scan your system for spyware.

After you click on these messages, they will open SpyKill and start a misleading scan that displays a falsified report full of exaggerated and fake errors. SpyKill uses such scare tactics to lure users into purchasing its counterfeit "full" version that neither detects any parasites, nor removes them. If you notice SpyKill in your system, be sure to remove it completely as soon as possible, as it may spread other malware into your PC.

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

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


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

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.
