The nature of rogue anti-spyware programs is to disguise or mask itself as being a legitimate anti-spyware tool. What if they used a common term in it’s name, wouldn’t it get more exposure and have a greater chance on ripping off more computer users. Yes, and this is exactly what is happening when it comes so rogue anti-spyware programs having a name using “Antivirus”.

We have discovered that there is a very big family of fake anti-spyware applications reaping havoc on the internet and they all have the word “Antivirus” in its name. Antivirus 2008, Antivirus 2009, Windows Antivirus 2008, Vista Antivirus 2008, Wista Antivirus, Antivirus XP, Antivirus XP 2008, Ultimate Antivirus 2008, System Antivirus and XP Antivirus are all part of the same family of rogues that use the general “Antivirus” term. Instead of having a silly made-up name, hackers are now taking a commonly used term to describe their malicious programs. Many of the names closely resemble the name of legitimate Antivirus programs which was done on purpose just to add to the confusion. We are pretty sure this was done to trick consumers into thinking that these programs are trustworthy. What a big surprise when you find out that you were just scammed.

When you are such a close nit family you tend to behave the same in most situations. It is not much different when it comes to the “Antivirus” family of rogue anti-spyware programs. It seems each of the “Antivirus” named programs mentioned above use similar tactics to scam computer users out of money. A simple way of watching out for these programs is to simply avoid any software application that has the “Antivirus” term in it’s name. Of course we are not asking that you abandon any legitimate program, we are asking that you verify the credentials of any given program to assure that it is “good”. Because you choose to educate yourself on rogue anti-spyware programs such as the “Antivirus” family, you have the upper hand in avoiding infection or loss of time and money.

Which rogue anti-spyware program or spyware do you hate the most? Name your parasite and let us know why you choose a certain infection to hate the most.

Leave us a mini review – it will be interesting to see how many people choose the same rogues or similar reasons why they hate a particular spyware parasite.

The following symptoms occurred upon SystemDefender installation:

• Shows “VIRUS ALERT!” text on the system tray next to the clock.







• Does not let you open any programs.







• The trojan creates a new hidden User on the computer which executes malicious activities in the background.




• The hidden User overwrites the privileges of the current User which allows the hidden User to limit or disable the User’s task manager, regedit, control panel and other system functions.







• The trojan hides all the the drives found under “My Computer”; C: drive is no longer visible.

Not only is the SystemDefender program dangerous, but the Trojan infection that installs it is very treacherous in that it can take over certain functions of your computer. SystemDefender is known to steal personal information by routing it to a remote user where it posses a serious risk to your stored data and personal identity.

The Trojan that installs SystemDefender is known to keep you from using spyware tools that will remove SystemDefender. We are currently analizing the Trojan infection that is causing this havoc. Once identified, we can better understand a complete removal process for this Trojan infection. In the mean time SystemDefender can be removed by use of the Remove SystemDefender link found on this website.

If you have bugs that are crawling on your screen manipulating the Windows desktop such as shown in the image above, then you may have a serious infection. Some screen saver programs are programmed to behave in a manor where it displays bugs crawling on your desktop. In the case that you do not have a screen saver installed that displays such images then this may be a clear sign that you have a dangerous spyware parasite running on your system.

There have been several reports of computer users experiencing bugs crawling on their computer screen eating away at the desktop image displayed mainly in Windows XP. In addition to the recent reports, computer users are further explaining that free spyware removal tools will not remove or detect this type of “bug” that they have. It seems there is a “bug” infection that is spreading on the internet and no one has the right “bug-spray” to get rid of it.

Hackers are known to be very creative with new infections in developing deceptive ways to get computer users to download and purchase their dirty programs. Currently there is no definite solution to this crawling bug matter. We are currently looking to see what spyware is causing this issue. In the mean time we would like to encourage anyone that may have this problem to be mindful of any popups or messages that may ask you to remove this “bug” infection. Many times an infection such as this one may prompt you to download fake software just as we have experienced with thousands of other spyware infections. Usually the result of downloading or installing recommended software from a popup or system alert results in damage to your system or lost of your hard earned money.

Right now you can keep yourself protected by updating your current anti-spyware and/or anti-virus programs. If you do not have an anti-spyware program then we suggest that you find a reputable application to protect your computer from similar infections. We will update you on this matter as soon as the information becomes available. Please check back in our news section for any new developments or updates in regards to the crawling bug issue.

Many Trojan infections may start by a simple email message with a link to a web site that will install Trojan files. This is a common scenario such as in the case of Storm Worm also known as Win32/Nuwar which is a Trojan dropper. In the case of Storm Worm and many other similar Trojans they may be continually updated to avoid detection and this is what makes them so dangerous. The hackers who develop these infections are busier than ever and increasing rate of attacks.

In addition to malicious email messages we find that hackers are attacking legitimate websites through banner ads via ad networks. What better way to get a computer users attention and sneak in a Trojan than through a simple banner ad on a well-known website? Microsoft has also discovered that Adware has increased over 66 percent just in the end of last year.

Despite the scary reports from Microsoft, computer users can still make a valid attempt to protect themselves. It is suggested that all computer users who use the internet keep all security applications updated and run the latest reputable spyware, firewall and virus software available. Microsoft will also suggest that you keep the Windows operating system up to date as well to limit any discovered vulnerabilities that may allow the installation of Trojan files.

Trojan.Win32.SystemCrash is a definite parasite that can potentially install other infections or rogue programs onto your computer. When you pair a clear-cut Trojan infection with a well known and trustworthy company as a found parasite, you have serious problems. If Malware Bell had any type of credibility with its horrendous claims, it is gone now.

The last time we checked, PCTools was a legitimate company for computer tools that aid in the removal of parasites and registry repairs. This goes to show that the Malware Bell program is full-of-it and has no justifiable claim for removal of actual malware or other infections from your computer. In the past other rogue anti-spyware programs have made several false claims and displayed exaggerated scan results. If we are able to recognize a found parasite as being a legit company and/or program then the hackers have not done their job in fooling us.

Computer users that are educated and up-to-date on the names of genuine companies will immediately throw Malware Bell out of the window. The creators of Malware Bell will not succeed in their ultimate scheme after its false classification is exposed.

Note: If you have Malware Bell installed it can be removed. Follow the link here to remove Malware Bell.

MonaRonaDona is one of the latest dirty parasites to hit the internet causing havoc on user’s computers. Certain unconfirmed reports online have stated that MonaRonaDona may come from a possible malicious program called Registry Clean Fix. MonaRonaDona may also be a creation from another program called Unigray which is supposed to be a virus detection and removal tool. It was discovered that Unigray is not a legitimate virus tool but part of a Trojan infection. Both of the mentioned programs are all part of painting the full MonaRonaDona picture which is a ploy to infect your computer.

Once a computer is infected with MonaRonaDona it may display messages that are sarcastic in nature but effective in scaring the average computer user. The message that is circulating online from people with computers infected by MonaRonaDona reads:

Hi, My name is MonaRonaDona. I am a Virus & I am here to Wreck Your PC. If you observe strange behavior with your PC, like program windows disappearing etc, it’s me who is doing all this. I was created as a protest against the Human Rights Violation being observed throughout the world & the very purpose of my existence is to remind & stress the world to respect humanity.

This message is a trigger for most users to start a search for a solution to removing MonaRonaDona. Performing a search for MonaRonaDona removal processes may lead to users mistakenly clicking on malicious website links that promote rogue software and/or install Trojans onto your computer. This is a cleaver tactic used by MonaRonaDona and may lead to further destruction of your system if you are not carful. This tactic is something fairly new in the security world. It is only natural for a computer user to start searching the internet for a solution to a problem. In the case of MonaRonaDona it is set up as a trap where the odds are some users will actually be directed to a dirty website and end up fighting a losing battle.

MonaRonaDona is the start to new passive tactics used by hackers that create malicious programs. Ultimately the hackers that create MonaRonaDona are out to lure people into a trap and you may end up spending your money on a useless program such as the previously mentioned Unigray. It is always a good suggestion to make sure the source of any website that offers a removal guide is further investigated. Computer users can investigate websites by checking the content, if a site has plenty of valid content aiding in removing parasites then it is legitimate. If a site is brand new with only a few valid pages then it may be a malicious site and you must avoid it at all costs.
