Adware - Spyware : Beware of Rogue Antispyware Named Eco AntiVirus. It's a FAKE

Adware - Spyware

Blue Penguin Software is excited to announce that its antispyware software SpyZooka is able to remove the fraudulent antispyware program Eco AntiVirus from infected systems. SpyZooka has been removing spyware, keyloggers, adware, Trojan horses and other security threats for more than five years. SpyZooka and its sophisticated algorithms are so effective that it has become the recognized industry leader, winning a number of prestigious awards including Tucows 5 Cows and Wugnet’s Shareware Hall of Fame.

Eco AntiVirus is the latest in a series of fraudulent antispyware programs, this one marketed as a green security application. Eco AntiVirus claims to conserve energy and thus snares those users committed to the green movement. Unfortunately, Eco AntiVirus, like other rogues, does not deliver on its promises. Instead, it uses deceptive tactics to attach itself to a system without the user’s knowledge or permission. This usually happens when users download a video or audio codec which appears beneficial, but which is actually infected with Eco AntiVirus.

Once attached to a system, Eco AntiVirus will bombard the screen with a series of fake security warnings, deceiving scans and aggressive marketing designed to persuade the user to visit the Eco AntiVirus website to purchase the malicious software. Taking this step will further compromise the systems security.

Computer users who have attempted to manually remove Eco AntiVirus from their infected systems have found the process to be frustrating, time consuming and costly. In extreme cases, users have had to completely wipe their systems clean in order to insure total removal of Eco AntiVirus.

As a result, industry experts recommend that users instead invest in a high quality, reliable antispyware program like SpyZooka to remove Eco AntiVirus from infected systems. Legitimate antispyware programs scan the infected system, identify spyware and remove it. When selecting an antispyware program, look for one like SpyZooka, which backs its promises with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and is recognized by industry leaders as a reliable and effective security application.

SpyZooka has been removing spyware like Eco AntiVirus since 2004. During that time, SpyZooka has established itself as an industry leader and has won a number of awards including the prestigious Tucows 5 Cows and Wugnet’s Shareware Hall of Fame.
