SpySheriff is a fraudulent anti-spyware application that is designed by devious hackers to profit from credible computer users. SpySheriff may be brought into your computer by a Trojan through browser security cracks, or may be downloaded directly from www.spysheriff.com. SpySheriff has the ability to generate false warning messages that appear in your taskbar. These fake messages are produced after a “scan” that SpySheriff emulates to raise its credibility. After SpySheriff “detects” parasites on your computer, it will continuously offer you to purchase the full version of the program, in order to dispose of the non-existent threats. Immediate removal of SpySheriff is strongly recommended.
