Spyware Crusade
Spyware Crusade (also known as SpywareCrusade) is a rogue anti-spyware application sponsored through the use of affiliated trojans and browser hijackers. Once active, Spyware Crusade will begin generating fake system scans that display fictitious and overly exaggerated infection results, along with fake security alerts, in order to trick the user into believing that the computer is infected. The user is then prompted to purchase and download the commercial version of Spyware Crusade in order to combat these threats.
