SpyVampire is a Complete Hoax

SpyVampire claims to be a spyware removal tool, but is actually a rogue security program designed to trick you and take your money. This malicious application displays security warnings and fake online scans constantly, in an effort to make you believe that malware and other parasites exist on your PC. They hope to frighten you enough that you are convinced to purchase SpyVampire in order to remove these threats. Save your money.

While SpyVampire claims to scan your PC, it cannot. Any results you see are fabricated by SpyVampire for the purpose of alarming you. This application is incapable of detecting or removing any parasite or infection. The entire scheme is a hoax designed to take your money for a worthless product.

Where malware comes from

The average user doesn't know where malware comes from; they just notice strange things are happening to their PC. Most of these rogue security programs download when you download other programs like music, freeware or games. Malicious websites and shared networks are other sources of malware. Your PC may also become infected by clicking on links in spam e-mails.

What does SpyVampire do?

SpyVampire is spyware, so it actually spies on what you do when you are online. Your online searches and the websites you visit are tracked, so that any information collected may be sent to third parties. Your personal passwords, credit card numbers and other business data may also be at risk. Any information collected may be used for malicious intents.

Common signs of spyware

Will you know if SpyVampire has been placed on your PC? It really is hard to miss. There are many common symptoms. Your PC will likely become very slow or unstable, and your browser may redirect you to strange websites. Most people are bombarded by pop-up ads and security warnings, and your home page may mysteriously change as well.

When you become suspicious that malware resides on your PC, you should remove it at once. Manual removal requires locating all related files and values in the Windows registry, which is very difficult as many will 'hide' from you. Manual removal may also damage your PC if not done right, so it isn't recommended.

StorageProtector Doesn't Protect Anything at All

If you know what spyware is, you know it isn't good. StorageProtector is a rogue security program that works like most other. Its purpose is to alarm you so that you will hand over your money. StorageProtector uses constant security alerts and fake online scanners in an effort to make you believe that malware and other infections reside on your PC. This program is malware, and should be avoided. StorageProtector hopes that if you believe threats are on your PC, you will purchase the product they offer to remove these threats.

While StorageProtector claims to scan your PC in order to detect infections and then remove them, it can do nothing. This rogue cannot scan your PC, so any results shown are fake, or possibly harmless files that were created in order to scare you. StorageProtector cannot detect or remove any infection or parasite.

Where malware comes from

Suddenly, your PC starts acting strange and you suspect you may have malware. Where did it come from? There are several ways this can happen. It may have installed when you downloaded another program such as videos or games. Visiting malicious or questionable websites may also cause spyware to install. P2P networks and links in spam e-mails are other sources of malicious software.

What does StorageProtector do?

Besides attempting to steal your money, StorageProtector performs other malicious activities. Your online searches and the websites you visit may be tracked. Private data like personal passwords and business information may be accessed. Any information that is gathered about you and your interests may be sent to third parties, who may use it for malicious purposes. Spyware may also affect the performance of your PC, or even cause it to crash.

Symptoms of spyware

Will you know if spyware is installed on your PC? Most likely. The symptoms are easy to recognize.

AntiSpywareSuite Is Useless

AntiSpywareSuite, while the name sounds good, is simply a rogue security program that should not be trusted. It is malware, which is an infection, and just what it claims to remove from your PC! Through aggressive and misleading security alerts, AntiSpywareSuite does its best to convince you that infections are on your computer, and that you need their product in order to rid your PC of parasites. Keep your money, because you will get absolutely nothing from this product.

What are the symptoms of spyware infection?
If you haven't had any experience with spyware, here is a general outline of how it works:

You may being noticing that your PC is slower than usual, or seem unstable. Pop-up ads hit you from every direction, and security warnings constantly alert you to infections. Your browser sends you to strange websites. Your home page may have changed. There may be new shortcuts on your desktop, or a new toolbar in your browser. When you start noticing things like this taking place, you probably have a malicious application such as AntiSpywareSuite or some other malware installed.

What are the dangers of spyware?
These programs are very tricky – they claim to get rid of parasites, which is what they are! When spyware is installed on your PC, it poses a danger to both your computer and your personal identity. It can track what you do, when you are online, access personal passwords and even private business information. In severe cases, your computer may even crash. It is essential that you get rid of these rogue security programs at once, when you realize they exist.

How did you get AntiSpywareSuite on your PC?
Where did AntiSpywareSuite come from and how did it get on your PC? If you actually downloaded the scan they offered, it most likely happened then. Otherwise, it installs without your knowledge, and usually comes from downloading other files, visiting questionable websites and sharing networks. Spam e-mails may also be the culprit. These applications hide from you, and run constantly in the background every time you log on to Windows. Some are also good at going undetected by antivirus programs and other security programs as well.
