Hi,
I am just wondering if anyone knows how one can tell if a program called Spyware Fighter is the legit anit-spyware program or if it is the malware program that has the same name.
In doing a search on this program which my neice has on her system, most hits show it to be malware but there is a legit program by that name. One of the articles I found when researching it says this...
Spyware Fighter description
Spyware Fighter is a functional anti-spyware; unfortunately, the same named malware was created recently. The corrupt program named SpywareFighter is totally useless but it will cost you $80. Spyware Fighter may be downloaded voluntarily, but it is more often installed by trojans like Vundo and Zlob.
Does anyone know how to tell the difference between the two?
My neice assumes it was put on when her uncle (on the other side of her family, so I have no way to ask him about it) put some security programs on the computer a couple of months ago but she is not sure what all he put on. I am not sure that he would have put this program on as he is really good with computers and I cannot really see him putting on a program that I have not seen recommended anywhere.
