SpyBlocker aka Spy Blocker is a misleading anti-spyware program that was designed to fool credulous Internet users their PCs are seriously infected with various infections and urge them to register for its "full version" to supposedly remove detected threats. Spy Blocker pretends to be genuine security software; however, it has no capability to secure your PC from various computer problems and system issues. After installation on a targeted machine, SpyBlocker will start executing a fraudulent system scan, and list fabricated threat results in an attempt to frighten affected PC users that their computers are corrupted by numerous viruses and other malware infections. Spy Blocker will also display falsified security warning messages associated with the serious problems of your computer's security. Scan results and pop-up alerts generated by SpyBlocker are falsified, so you should not trust them. For removal of imaginary parasites found on your machine, Spy Blocker will suggest you to buy its nonexistent full version. Do not install and pay money for Spy Blocker because it's a rogue program used to rip you off and damage your PC. PC threat researchers at ESG highly recommend you to delete SpyBlocker immediately after detection on your PC system.
