Have you ever turned on your computer and noticed one day that it has a mind of its own? Chance are you could have some form of malware (malicious software) on your computer which includes a computer virus, a worm, Trojan horse, spyware or any other software with the intent to corrupt your computer. More malicious software is available now than ever before but luckily SpyZooka is available to help. One very destructive piece of software that appears as if it is helping you but is actually harming your computer is AntiMalware2009. It misleads you by popping up numerous warnings of infections and then offers to scan your computer online. After the scan completes it suggests you to download AntiMalware2009. Once you download the software, it warns you of many fake infections and then scares you into buying a license for the software. AntiMalware2009 clones itself after eAntiVirusPro and XP Protector 2009 and usually forces itself onto your computer.

After AntiMalware2009 has been installed on your computer you will notice very strange behavior. One symptom is that your computer launches the software on startup and your computer plays strange noises. This is AntiMalware2009’s way of scaring you into believing that you do in fact have problems with their computer. Now that they’ve gotten you worried, they’re hoping that you will feel pressured to buy a license to their software. When you open up Internet Explorer, it will give you a popup that says it has blocked the site due to malware and will direct you immediately to their rogue website. Worst of all you will notice very slow CPU performance as AntiMalware2009 was built very poorly and sits heavy on your CPU.

If you do have this software on your computer make sure that you remove it immediately. However, if you’re not sure if this software is on your computer go to the “Add/Remove Programs” utility and check to see if it exists there. Even after you uninstall the program there is a good chance that many hidden files will still exists on your hard drive so it’s best to go to a Spyware provider you trust and use their software to remove all files associated to AntiMalware2009.

If you’re looking for a quality Spyware program SpyZooka is the way to go! They’ve come a long way from the first version of their software, which had some stability issues. Now, it’s a lightweight application (5.19MB on install) and it’s fast with a quick scan taking about 3 minutes and a full scan taking about 15 minutes. The best part is that it doesn’t sit heavy on your CPU while scanning your computer. During tests done by a third party, SpyZooka found most of the virus samples put on the computer and found no viruses on a clean computer, proving it doesn’t warn about any nonexistent viruses. SpyZooka also gives the option of SpyGuard which helps to protect your Internet Explorer browsing. This allows you to choose which applications can and cannot be installed on your computer. In a nutshell, for $29.95 you get a lot of bang for your buck. It’s a great product and very competitive to the others available.
