Greetings! Some more information on the rouge Spyware.
Quoted from another post ----
Personal Antivirus is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a users system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the product by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only Personal Antivirus can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads Personal Antivirus trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, Personal Antivirus offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, Personal Antivirus does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the users money and may even install additional spyware into the victims computer.
Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as Personal Antivirus, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victims computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install Personal Antivirus, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
