SpyBro

Posted: July 22, 2008

ScreenshotSpyBro or Spy Bro, is a rogue anti-spyware program usually installed by a Trojan Zlob or Vundo from a fake video codec installer found in adult websites. Once SpyBro is installed, it will flood your system with popups and fake system notifications stating that you're infected with an exaggerated amount of threats. SpyBro's messages are only designed to trick you into buying a product that doesn't alleviate any of your spyware problems, moreover, SpyBro is a problem itself. SpyBro may cause your computer to slow down and even put yout personal and financial information at risk. There is no such thing as a SpyBro's licensed version, it is all a huge scam.
