Do you know what Spyware Fighter is?

DESCRIPTION

Spyware Fighter or SpywareFighter, is program that may be installed on your computer automatically that attempts to scan for spyware and other malware parasites. These are the typical actions that other rogue anti-spyware programs perform which is why Spyware Fighter should not be trusted because it is yet another fake anti-spyware program.

Spyware Fighter is offered at $40 to $80 and for that fee it claims you are able to detect and remove threats from your system but that is a complete lie. You should not trust Spyware Fighter for detection or removal of anything. Spyware Fighter is known to also be advertised and sold on the www.spyware-fighter.com website. Stay away from this site.

In non-techie terms:
You may get many popup alerts or system notifications from the Trojan that may install Spyware Fighter. Sometimes these Trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo, install fake anti-spyware programs like Spyware Fighter without your permission. You must remember that Spyware Fighter is not related to SPAMfighter’s SPYWAREfighter which is a legitimate security program. It is very important that you remove Spyware Fighter and the Trojan that may have installed it in the first place. Do not purchase Spyware Fighter or you would have wasted your $40 to $80 on a worthless program.
