What is Spyware Fighter?

Spyware Fighter is yet another rogue anti-spyware program, which we’ve seen so many of on the net these days. This parasite uses trojans, such as Zlob, to enter the system, and it feeds the user disinformation in order to trick him into purchasing Spyware Fighter’s “full version”, which is a fake.

Once inside and active, Spyware Fighter will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. It will also perform fake system scans, which produce greatly exaggerated results. All of this is done to trick the user into thinking he is infected in hopes that he will then buy Spyware Fighter’s full version.

Fake threats include following : Virus.VBS.Metaphase.B, Trojan.VBS.Envoy, Trojan.VBS.Fav, Trojan.VBS.First.G, Worm.VBS.Himeh, Trojan.VBS.Flames.A, JS.DropperAppl, Js.Exception.Gen, Adware.Searchbar, Trojan.Surila.J,  Macro.Word.Daniel.b,Macro.Word.DMV, Dialer.StarDialer-2, Macro.Word.Doggie.a, Macro.Word.Helper.a, Trojan.VBS.Fav,
Flooder.DoS.Siya, Trojan.VBS.First.G, Trojan.VBS.Flames.A, Trojan.VBS.Frekru.A and some others.

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