Microsoft Security Adviser

Posted: July 8, 2009

Microsoft Security Adviser is a fake spyware remover that claims your computer is infected, when it is more likely clean. Despite the name, Microsoft Security Adviser is not designed or supported by Microsoft, and is in fact spread via trojan infiltration. Once inside your PC, Microsoft Security Adviser issues fake security alerts advertising this parasite. False system scans report fabricated infection results, all in order to trick you into purchasing the commercial version of this rogue spyware remover.
