These are usually anti-spyware or security software applications that use various forms of deception and/or unethical means or show a history of negligent false positives to goad the end user to make a purchase.
In some cases these applications maybe downloaded with some form of unwanted software at which point the rogue application is offered to the customer as a way to remove the unwanted software.

This is a rogue anti-spyware. This is listed on the Rogue Anti-Spyware site by spywarewarrior.com
http://spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm. This is just one of many Miscellaneous Security programs produced by Verio Productions Limited.
I don't know where I picked up this 'bug', but every 5 minutes it pops up a message saying my computer is making unauthorized copies of my system and internet files, and asks if I want to download AV System Care spyware removal software. Does anyone know how to remove this? I'd really appreciate some help. roarkalum@hotmail.com
