Personal Anti Malware

Description: Personal Anti Malware, also known as PersonalAntiMalware, is a dangerous rogue anti-spyware that uses scare tactics to try and trick users into buying a software license. It usually gets installed via Trojans that get downloaded from fake online scanners, other dangerous websites and even through the use of social engineering methods and spam email. Once installed, Personal Anti Malware loads at boot time and performs a large number of fake scans on the system, returning false results that show that a large number of malware applications are present. It also generates fake pop-ups from the Windows taskbar saying that the computer is under threat. Finally, Personal Anti Malware insists that the user purchase a license to the ‘full’ version software, claiming that the currently installed ‘trial’ version is insufficient to remove the detected ‘threats’. It even changes its name to Personal Anti Malware Center if you fall for this trick and purchase the ‘full’ version. However, you should never allow yourself to be tricked into paying for the so-called ‘full’ version, as it is just as incapable of scanning or cleaning your computer as the ‘trial’ version is.
