Windows Debugging Agent

Windows Debugging Agent is a dangerous rogue anti-spyware program. Specifically, Windows Debugging Agent belongs to the Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert family of rogue anti-spyware applications. Rogue security programs in this family (such as Windows Proofness Guarantor, Windows Work Catalyst, and Windows Activity Inspector) tend to use the same Trojan to enter a computer. They also act in a similar manner and share the same interface. It is important to understand that programs like Windows Debugging Agent are dangerous threats to a computer's security. Any kind of rogue anti-spyware should be removed immediately. Use a fully-updated anti-malware tool to remove Windows Debugging Agent from your computer.
 

Windows Debugging Agent and Its Many Clones

Windows Debugging Agent stands out among other rogue security applications in that Windows Debugging Agent has many more clones than most other rogue security programs. Clones are functional copies of a program that allow hackers to bypass advances in computer security. A specific anti-malware tool may protect against one version of Windows Debugging Agent, but it may not be updated to protect against a particular clone. All of Windows Debugging Agent's clones have three main things in common:

  1. Windows Debugging Agent and Windows Debugging Agent's clones are commonly distributed with the Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Trojan. This Trojan is often downloaded inadvertently. Either because a particular exploit forces a computer to download it or because the computer user doesn't know what he is downloading on his/her PC. This Trojan receives its name because it displays a fake alert from Microsoft Security Essentials. This alert will prompt the computer user to download Windows Debugging Agent to fix a nonexistent Trojan on the infected computer.
  2. Windows Debugging Agent and Windows Debugging Agent's clones share very similar interfaces. These interfaces use official-looking Microsoft logos and a very convincing layout. The only thing that tends to change from clone to clone is the program's name which is displayed on the top left corner.
  3. Windows Debugging Agent and Windows Debugging Agent's clones have similar effects on a computer. They will behave as typical rogue anti-spyware applications. This means that Windows Debugging Agent and Windows Debugging Agent's clones may block access to files, change browser settings, display constant pop-up alerts, run fake scans, and use up system resources. They do this to convince the computer user that he/she must buy Windows Debugging Agent to get rid of the problems.
