Renus 2008 is a rogue anti-spyware application, fake spyware remover. This parasite is suspiciously similar to other notorious rogue anti-spyware applications, such as Real Antivirus and Antivirus XP Pro. So, we can assume that Renus 2008 is simply a copy of those noxious spyware removers. Usually, the system is infected with Renus2008 without user's knowledge or permission via Trojan application. These dangerous applications enter the system via security exploits, spam e-mails or fake online anti-virus scanners.

Once installed and active, Renus 2008 performs fake system scan and generates fallacious alert messages or fake scan reports, informing that system is seriously infected. Victims of this rogue should know that all those infections were fabricated. For infections removal, user is advertised to buy a full copy of Renus 2008, because trial version has several limitations. The truth is that Renus 2008 only mimics real anti-spyware applications, so it is unable to detect or remove any kind of infections. Full version of Renus 2008 doesn’t even exist. Instead of buy this worthless application, remove it from the system as soon as possible after first appearance.
