  07 Mar 2008 by ReviewSaurus | , , ,

We all know that how important it’s to be safe from spywares and it feels sad to see that now you have to be safe from anti-spywares too! There are 349 rouge anti-spyware applications till this time and they just try to fool you by using dirty marketing tricks.

They try to fool you by showing that they’ve scanned your computer and that your computer is infected from spywares, even though it’s not and then say that you can fix it if you buy this anti-spyware. Guess the worst part! some of them actually install spywares on your computer! Evil isn’t it ?

Spyware Warrior has compiled the list of these 349 applications and they constantly add these bad applications who are after your money.

So, when you decide to buy any software, ensure that you do a quick little search on Google or any other preferred search engine and read it’s reviews. It’s just not with anti-spywares, be it any other software, it only helps you to ensure that you are buying something credible.

    Sadly, there are so many more out there that are not listed. Probably why it has not been updated in a while, would take pages and pages.
    It sure is a great source. It took alot of work.

    What the world coming to? You can’t even trust anti-spyware tools.

    @ Shankar : Yeah, I thought the list was really worthy and everyone should know about it and I suggest you guys to blog about it too.

    @ I_Know_Better : That’s the cleanest one and my fav. too :]

    @ Nirmal : Indeed it’s worth checking, however as Doug suggested that there are more rouge applications so we can always trust the ones which I reviewed here and reviewed by others. :]

    @ Rakshit : Bookmark it :]

    @ Doug : Well, your knowledge about spyware is pretty good and your comments are always helpful. What do you think should we create another list which we’ll keep updated always ?

    @ Binny : he he he, everything gets zeroed down to 1 thing! Money!! Root of all the evil!
