Malicious programs masquerading as good software

[badmoonryzn]

Over the last month I have encountered a program called SpyShredder ten times or more. Each time I was at a different place. It has tried to install its self into my PC regardless of what you try to do. I was protected by 2-spyware and I did not get it. I was able to shut down the window without getting the #$#4% thing. The notebook PC I loaned to my friend, however has now got the dog gone thing. About a three months ago another one got me and when I tried to shut the window down in task manager it had changed my keys I guess because as soon as I tried to close the program it started up somewhere else.

By the time I figured out what was going on it was too late. That program killed my PC to the point where it took hours editing the registry and searching everywhere for the darn thing. It started pooping out hundreds of windows from low life places, junk stores and other warez crap that just put more malicious software on to the machine. It would launch so many windows the PC would just choke. What good is that? It would seem to mr if the machine crashes they can’t get any useful information either. What good is it to their customers? Oh well, who care, but if I created something for a purpose I would want it to work. I would like to know where the company called SpyShredder is located and who was responsible for the code? It would be nice to pay them a visit just for grins. I’m not shy. As many places as I have encountered the thing it needs to be stopped.

I don’t know if they pay to be put on to web sites or whether they hijack site with their permissions open, but looking at some of the places I have been hit with the nasty thing I don’t want to believe some of those guys would be involved with crooks like that. It surly does not show people you are an upstanding outfit. I wrote to MS because I encountered it on one of their site so I going to see if they can get it off. Anyway, I think there needs to be more web sites posting these crooks to inform the masses. Gee, maybe we can SPAM them. LOL So many people who do not know how bad this company is just click yes and the one who don’t know how to get it to stop are in big trouble as soon as they visit one of the sites. I don’t have the answer, but somehow we need to reach more people. I can’t believe how SpyShredder just puts it to the masses with their criminal activities. There has to be a law against this. If I could get my hands on the people I could at least get their attention.

I will use the information gained here and try to repair my PCs. Thank you for this forum and for the great software. It is companies like 2-Spyware and the dedication of great employees that makes the Internet a safe and wonderful place to go. Cheers!
