SYMPTOMS OF rogue antispyware INFECTION
Rogue AntiSpyware virus enters your PC without your consent or using some sort of social engineering trick. Fake scanner pages, malicious mail attachments or system vulnerabilities are often used.
Virus has a single goal: to gain money. Like other rogue anti-spyware applications, it will try to convince you that your system is infected with multiple parasites: trojans, adware, or other rogues. Typically, rogues do not provide enough detail about infections detected or show fake results. Rogue anti-spyware like Windows Cleaning Tool will not clean any actual infections for free.
Most of the parasites of this type do not have parasite detection engine thus every warning they show is a random one. If you see persistent popups or alerts, you can safely discard them.
You should never pay for Rogue Anti-spyware application like Windows Cleaning Tool as it funds development of other computer parasites.
