Rogues Infection







What is Rogue?


A rogue is a fake security software that warns that your computer is infected which is totally false.
Never buy this software if it asks you because you'll be surprised by seeing that the sum will be deducted from your credit card. This can range up to several hundred dollars.

You can get rogue by clicking on ads that run on certain sites or if you download files using P2P software.

Some rogues may simply be uninstalled via Add/Remove programs as a normal software.

Here is a list of rogues:
  • Antivirus XP 2008
  • Winantispyware
  • XP Security Center
  • WinAntiVirus Pro
  • SystemAntivirus 2008
  • Antivirus 2008
  • Smart Antivirus
  • Micro Antivirus
  • SpyNoMore
  • Antispyexpert
  • XP Antispyware 2009
  • Antimalware 2009



A non-exhaustive list of other programs install adware.

It may be that some are dated a year other than those noted above.
