'Spyware Alarm!' Pop-Up
"Spyware Alarm!" Pop-up is nothing more than a fraudulent system alert notification generated by the rogue anti-spyware program called Home Malware Cleaner (sometimes referred to as Malware Cleaner). This deceptive piece of software uses pop-up windows, such as this "Spyware Alarm!" pop-up, in order to intimidate you into purchasing the MalwareCleaner fake spyware remover. This application offers no aid or protection for your system and should be avoided at all costs. The "Spyware Alarm!" Pop-up reads as follows:
"Spyware alarm! Our scan has reported that pieces of malicious spyware code are present on your hard drive. To get rid of security threats, click here for a Malware Cleaner scan."
