SpySheriff

SpySheriff is a fake anti-spyware application pretending to scan for and remove spyware from users' computers. SpySheriff dupes or badger users into purchasing the program by presenting the user with intrusive, deceptive warnings and/or false, misleading scan results.

SpySheriff is known to be distributed through exploits that also download adware/spyware on users' computers without notice or consent. When SpySheriff is downloaded through an exploit, it puts a red icon in the system tray and shows a false warning that the computer is infected with spyware. SpySheriff's free scan reports multiple false positives in order to frighten the user into paying for the program. SpySheriff is set to load at Windows start up. It may also display pop-up warnings of spyware on the computer as a scare tactic. SpySheriff has been re-branded under the following names:
- Brave Sentry
- DIARemover
- MalwareAlarm
- Mr.AntiSpy
- PestCapture
- PestTrap
- PestWiper
- SpyDemolisher
- SpyMarshal
- SpyTrooper
- SpywareNo
- Spyware-Stop
- SpywareSheriff
