TheSpyBot
TheSpyBot is a rogue anti-spyware program that is often downloaded and installed without user knowledge or consent by a Trojan or through browser security holes. TheSpyBot launches on Windows startup and may generate large numbers of popup adverts. TheSpyBot will also display notifications of imaginary security risks in its attempts to get the user to purchase the full version. TheSpyBot program can be difficult to remove manually, and will continue to try to recreate itself.
