ScreenshotSiteAdware is a fake anti-spyware program manufactured by the same group of anonymous badware scammers who created the rogue programs AntiTroy, RESpyWare, and REAnti. SiteAdware infects unsuspecting users' systems via Trojans, malicious websites and social engineering scams. SiteAdware creates several files with random names and places them in Windows system folders. The files are actually harmless but will be detected as dangerous when SiteAdware launches a fake system scan. Warning messages and frequent pop-ups will also be displayed, all informing the user of severe malware infections with a recommendation to purchase the "full version" of SiteAdware. Do not fall for this scam! SiteAdware is a malicious application that should be removed immediately.
