WHAT ARE ROGUE ANTISPYWARE
Rogue Antispyware are parasites that mimic legitimate antiviruses and anti-spyware programs. These programs do not have real security application capabilities. Rogue Anti-Spyware programs come without any real parasite database and all parasites they detect are predefined in their code. These fake anti-spyware programs will refuse to fix any of the infections without paying for them first. After the payment, some will claim that infections are cleaned up, and some will ignore the payments at all. This classifies rogues as subsection of Malware.
