The latest program, in a long line of rogue anti-spyware applications, has been released today called SpyDawn. This program is so new, it has only 3 entries in Google, 2 of them being it's own homepage.

SpyDawn is the same as all of the other rogue products. They show exaggerated or fake results so that you are scared enough to buy their products in order to remove them. The reality is that they are all scams. Of course the domain is registered with EstDomains, because what malware provider isn't? It also appears that these people are busy because not only are they the makers of SpyDawn, but they also released SpyCrush last week.

If you look at SpyCrush's registration information you will see the following:
