Never heard of fake antispyware programs? If so, this must be the first time you’ve dropped by this site. They do exist, and Vista Antispyware 2010 is one of them. The wicked developers of this program did a pretty good job making it appear like a truly legitimate antivirus application.
Vista Antispyware 2010 does everything that legit antispyware programs do. It launches warnings, it scans, it even reports finding spyware in your system. But the difference is that … they’re all fake. The warnings, scans, even the reports are all part of an elaborate scam.
Just like most fake antispyware, Vista Antispyware 2010 infects your system through trojans. The next question is: where do you get those trojans? Trojans lurk in malicious websites in the form of Flash player updates, video codecs, mp3s, and even device drivers. The moment you’re tricked into downloading them, they’ll immediately alter the Windows registry.
That way, Vista Antispyware 2010 will be able to take control starting from boot up. Don’t be fooled into buying its so-called full version. You wouldn’t want to expose your credit card information to fraudulent individuals, would you?
