Our SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have discovered that like many rogue anti-spyware applications Avira AntiVir Enhanced Protection Mode uses fake media updates as a primary method of infecting new PCs. If you believe...

Norton AntiVirus Enhanced Protection Mode is a fake Norton security program that capitalizes on a known anti-virus brand to oil up the gears for its own misdeeds. While Norton AntiVirus Enhanced Protection Mode pretends to be a Norton product, Norton AntiVirus Enhanced Protection Mode has no real security-related functions except for functions that attack your PC security and disable security applications. Our SpywareRemove.com malware team has found that Norton AntiVirus Enhanced Protection Mode is closely-related to two other rogue programs that use similar scams, all of which are...

Avast Enhanced Protection Mode is an insidious rogue security program that pretends to be part of a legitimate Avast-brand installation. Although Avast Enhanced Protection Mode creates fake pop-ups that indicate that your PC is protected, behind the scenes Avast Enhanced Protection Mode has disabled as much of your security software as Avast Enhanced Protection can manage. Avast Enhanced Protection Mode may also try to bully you into spending money on a similar rogue program or allow remote criminals to attack your PC. Our SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend that you identify...

Although rogue security programs are very common, Home Codec Pack distinguishes itself by using the unusual scamware format of a rogue codec package. Most Home Codec Pack infections are caused by Trojans that may imitate media updates to install themselves onto your PC. While Home Codec Pack infects your computer, many files that rely on codecs, such as movie and sound files, will refuse to play, and instead you'll see errors that request you to update your codecs. However, these errors just want to direct you to fake codec purchase scams and don't indicate that your codecs really are...

Like many other rogue security programs, Albinos Defender and its website spread misinformation about its security capabilities to make you think that Albinos Defender is a real security and anti-virus product. If you've installed Albinos Defender, though, in a very short time you will find out the same thing that our SpywareRemove.com malware researchers did – that Albinos Defender can't detect real infections, but makes you suffer through fake warnings instead. Albinos Defender may also cause other types of dysfunction in your computer besides simple false positives, such as browser...

Personal Guard, also known as Personal Guard 2009, is a rogue security program that fakes finding viruses, Trojans and other infections.

Some Personal Guard infections may also result in damaged system settings, browser hijack attacks and problems using unrelated security software. Although buying Personal Guard...

Clean Security is an ironically-named rogue application with a penchant for using imitations of security features in lieu of the real thing. Our SpywareRemove.com research team has also found that the company that markets Clean Security has acquired a reputation of charging fraudulent credit card bills and disseminating similar rogue software clones around through a handful of other websites. Clean Security and websites related to it should be shied away from, since any Clean Security infection may cause negative system setting changes, including altered file-viewing settings, desktop...

The fake security program, Bogema Security, claims to offer anti-spyware and other threat-removal services, but our SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have found that Bogema Security only offers trouble. Those who attempt to use Bogema Security for its stated purposes will find that the only infections that Bogema Security can warn you about are falsified ones and that all system errors that Bogema Security reports are lies.

Ultimate Scan is a counterfeit anti-spyware and general security scanner that passes off a cheap imitation of security features as the real thing. With close ties to other rogue security programs and fraudulent websites that are well-known to our research team, Ultimate Scan is suspicious enough if judged simply by its acquaintances. The utter lack of real anti-virus, anti-spyware or other security features in Ultimate Scan are just nails hammering shut the coffin of Ultimate Scan's theoretical respectability. Due to all of the above reasons, as well as the fact that Ultimate Scan may be...

Unlimited Defender is a newborn addition to a fresh cartel of rogue anti-virus programs. Unlimited Defender's website and its own interface try to convince you that Unlimited Defender is capable of finding and removing spyware and other malware infections, but Unlimited Defender, like all rogue products, is only faking these features. The presence of Unlimited Defender has been linked with fake infection warnings, repetitive requests for money and fraudulent credit card charges. SpywaRemove.com researchers recommend that you use a good anti-malware product to clean Unlimited Defender...

The rogue anti-virus program that calls itself Windows Defender (not to be confused with the Microsoft anti-spyware product Windows Defender) is a fake AV application that creates false positives instead of trying to detect real infections. SpywareRemove.com malware analysts have found that the Fake Windows Defender uses the same interface and basic harmful behavior that's also in use by other recent rogue security programs, including Alfa Defender Pro and Bogema Security . Since rogue anti-virus programs like Fake Windows Defender are strongly linked to credit card-based theft, browser...

Although Antivirus Edition's name implies that Antivirus Edition can find and delete viruses and other malware threats, SpywareRemove.com malware research team hasn't found any trace of real anti-virus features in Antivirus Edition. However, what they have found is code that's dedicated to creating fake warning messages and badgering you about purchasing the similarly-worthless full version of Antivirus Edition from its website. As a close of other rogue anti-virus programs, Antivirus Edition is no better than Eclipse Antivirus or Ultimate Guard , and you should do your best to delete...

Total Protect is a rogue anti-spyware program that pretends to detect spyware and other infections on your PC as a cover for asking for your money. Since Total Protect's threat alerts aren't real, purchasing Total Protect's anti-spyware features is a self-destructive action that places your credit card and money in criminal hands. Total Protect is confirmed to launch itself without permission and may also attack your computer with browser hijacks or by blacklisting security software. You should consider Total Protect to be no better than a common virus and remove Total Protect with a...

ULTIM Security is a fake anti-virus program with false positives and inaccurate system information instead of real security features. Like most rogue anti-virus products, ULTIM Security makes it appear as though your PC is heavily-infected prior to offering to fix this fake emergency if you'll purchase ULTIM Security's full version. SpywareRemove.com malware research team cautions against this, however, since ULTIM Security is completely incapable of fixing any virus-related PC problems and is affiliated with criminals with a history of credit card fraud. The safest way to deal with...
