Macatte is a rogue antivirus program that first appeared on the internet late in October 2009.  Macatte is being distributed via the normal channels, those being torrent sites, freeware, and via compromised websites that redirect to a misleading download page.  Like most rogue antispyware scanners, this one pretends to be a spyware scanner and finds all kinds of false problems with your machine, prompting you over and over to protect your computer.  In short, it is a scam.

The reality is that Macatte is holding your computer for ransom.  Over time Macatte may become more and more annoying and could eventually cripple your PC.  If you are infected with Macatte it is in your best interest to remove it immediately.

Since its release, Macatte has been picked up by the major antivirus companies and can now be removed using commercial grade spyware scanners.

BlockScanner is a rogue antispyware scanner.  It is not a legimate piece of software and should be removed from your PC as soon as possible.  BlockScanner manifests all of the hallmark attributes of a fake spyware scanner.  BlockScanner infects your PC using misleading tactics or as unwanted cargo bundled with some other software that seems legit.  Once installed, BlockScanner pretends to scan your PC and find a ton of problems.  BlockScanner then insists that you need to purchase a program in order to secure your PC.  This is all just an elaborate ruse to steal money from you.

The truth is that BlockScanner is junkware and you should not pay the publishers of BlockScanner a single cent because they do not have your interests in mind.

CyberSecurity is yet another in a long series of rogue antisypware programs.  Programs like CyberSecurity all share similar characteristics.  They mislead users into installing them, and then they attempt to hold those users hostage and demand a ransom in order to free their computer from the fake scanner program.  CyberSecurity is no exception.

Security Tool is yet another instance of Rogue Spyware.  Security Tool pretends to be a spyware scanner and finds all kinds of false problems with your machine, prompting you over and over to protect your computer.

The sad fact is that Security Tool is holding your computer hostage and asking you to pay a ransom to get your computer back to normal.  Over time Security Tool becomes more and more annoying and eventually cripples your PC to the point of being almost unusable.  Security Tool is an especially problematic piece of rogue spyware because it actively blocks your ability to run programs and makes radical changes to your PC to try and prevent you from being able to remove it.
