SpyShredder 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 SpyShredder can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads SpyShredder trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, SpyShredder offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, SpyShredder 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 SpyShredder, 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 SpyShredder, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as SpyShredder, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
I have a more definitive method of disposing of the dreaded spy shredder.. ASSUMING that you have heeded your computor mfg, advice and have created a recovery disk prior to infection, I suggest that if your computor is partitioned , format the main hardrive. HOWEVER make certain that you make back ups of all relevant files that are self generated onto the d drive or onto a compact or dvd disc. THEN proceed to format the c drive and reinstall the operating system from the recovery disc that either accompanied the computor or that you burned at the time of purchase. This is a far more certain solution to lingering or stray paths. I would suggest that either Microsoft corp, or the legal arm of the state or federal governments take legal action against the spy shredder publisher and all other rogue publishers of malicious and harmful software. Here in Canada I am not certain as to whom or what level of government to contact in regards to sueing the publisher or their distributors .
