What is Spyware Destructor?

Spyware Destructor is a new rogue anti-spyware program, one of the many roaming the net today. It seems to be a clone of AntiSpywareExpert and a few other rogues. Spyware Destructor  is no different than any other scam of the same type: it infects the system by using trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo and uses scare tactics to prove it’s legitimacy.

Once inside and active, Spyware Destructor will bombard the user with an endless flood of popups and fake system notifications, supposedly informing him of an infection, which is most likely non-existent. These threats are supposed to lead the user into a position where he has the necessity to buy an anti-spyware program. The first anti-spyware program that crosses his path is, hardly coincidentally, Spyware Destructor.

Spyware Destructor’s website is no different than that of most rogues: the content is almost certainly copy+pasted, there is no contact information and the payment system is illegitimate. Spyware Destructor is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it’s homepage using your HOSTS file.
