Fake ad for fake antispyware Spysheriff

youtube.com — SpySheriff is among the best-known rogue programs disguised as spyware protection. It might look like a useful security program but it actually isn't - it's typically pushed on systems through vulnerabilities, after which it reports nonexistent infections in order to scare you into registering the software.

  • gravis86, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Funny picture. Completely irrelevant, but funny.
  • DAaaMan64, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That's because you have SpySheriff installed.
  • slayerboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1are you serious? how is this even remotely news? this is a hommade creation that serves no purpose and states what we already know.

    i feel dumber after watching that.
  • ericnmu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1this isnt even an ad.... what exactly are you submitting chrisek? did you even watch it?
  • Recuso, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That and that the obnoxious techno music forced me to mute the sound.
  • general13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Funny concept, but the video was pretty poorly edited
  • blackmurtagh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Same as i think.... drivescan??? a friend stupidly payed $100 for a bucketload of virus' and spyware
  • ericxoxp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is lame !! How come so many people dugg this ??
  • john2kx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1buried as lame... while it's true Spy Sheriff is among the worst garbage software on the internet, that video was possibly the worst on youtube.
  • drilldown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Believe it or not, an entire win98 computer lab was fragged by this beastie being loaded by students, trying to be "helpful". On the positive side of things, it convinced admin to upgrade the entire lab to something one could hope for in security. :-)
  • ldykillr75, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Where did SpySheriff win an award from?

    Their website says -
    "Download our award winning Anti-Spyware Software"

  • derek20cali, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0My computer got infected with that a while back. It was a serious pain in the ass to remove.
  • derek20cali, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0It wasn't me using the computer at the time.

    Stop being an *****.
