InfeStopRemover is malware that advertises aggressively to you, claiming to detect and remove spyware and other parasites. This rogue security program uses misleading security warnings and fake online scanners to goad you into believing that your PC is infected, and that you should scan your PC to detect these infections. Once found, this malicious software claims it will remove the parasites, but of course you have to buy the licensed version of the product.
The infections InfeStopRemover claims to detect are made up, and harmless. This is just an attempt to frighten you further so that you will buy the product. This program has no ability to scan your computer, and it is incapable of detecting or removing anything at all. The whole thing is simply a scam.
Where InfeStopRemover originates
You did not purposely place this malware on your PC, so how did it get there? Good question. Spyware usually installs when you perform normal everyday activities, such as downloading music or visiting websites you are interested in. These websites may be malicious, although you don't know it. Shared networks and spam e-mails are other ways your PC may become infected.
What spyware does
Is spyware a bad thing? Yes, it is. InfeStopRemover and other rogue security programs often track what you do when you surf the Internet. Your search queries, the websites you visit and even private information may be collected and sent to third parties. It also uses an enormous amount of your system resources, which will make your PC slow or unstable. Credit card numbers, personal passwords and other sensitive information may be at risk.
How to detect malware
Will you know if malware has been placed on your computer? More than likely you will. The symptoms are pretty obvious. Besides your PC becoming slow or acting strangely, you cannot miss the pop-up ads and security alerts that bombard you constantly. Your browser may also send you to unknown websites, your home page may change, or you may see new shortcuts on your desktop that you did not place there.
When you realize that you have InfeStopRemover on your PC, you should remove it at once to prevent further problems or damage. You can do this yourself, but it is risky unless you are experienced and really know what you are doing. Done incorrectly, manual removal can damage your PC. The best solution to restore security automatically is to use a reputable antispyware tool that is 100% guaranteed problem solved!About the Author:
