What is Spyware Destroyer?

Spyware Destroyer is yet another rogue anti-spyware program with nothing new to offer. This parasite typically enters the system by using the Zlob trojan, which is frequently found in porn/warez websites disguised as a video codec. Spyware Destroyer relies on illicit advertising to sell.

Once inside and active, Spyware Destroyer will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. While this information may be true, Spyware Destroyer has neither the ability to detect nor remove threats, and should therefore be ignored. Much like any other rogue, Spyware Destroyer will perform fake system scans, which produce exaggerated results.

Spyware Destroyer is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it’s homepage using your HOSTS file.
