ErrorSkydd threat: information and removal

ErrorSkydd just goes to show how big the rogue scams really are. This one’s targeted at Scandinavia, which is far from being the most usual victim. ErrorSkydd is a rogue error cleaner, which is a fake error removal tool, which uses intimidation to convince users to buy the "licensed version" of the program. ErrorSkydd usually makes it way to your system by using trojans, such as Zlob. Once inside, ErrorSkydd will flood the user with endless popups and fake system notifications in order to "inform" the user of a non-existent errors. The user is then led to ErrorSkydd’s website, where he is intimidated some more by exaggerated statements on the consequences of having these errors. All of this is done to convince the user to buy ErrorSkydd, which is a bogus program. The domain errorskydd.com is registered to "no_name_inc@yahoo.com" - hardly a move that produces credibility. This among other things clearly shows that ErrorSkydd is a scam: do NOT download or buy it and block errorskydd.com using your HOSTS file.
