Adware Deluxe threat: information and removal
Adware Deluxe (a.k.a Adware Deluxe 1.0.8) is a new rogue anti-spyware program - a fake spyware remover, which uses scare tactics to create a reason for the user to buy it’s "licensed version". Like most other rogues, Adware Deluxe makes it’s way to the system by using trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo. These trojans typically lurk in porn/warez websites disguised as video codecs. Once inside and active, Adware Deluxe will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of an infection. This information is false, but it creates a reason for the user to buy an anti-spyware program. The pirst program to fit the description is, of course, Adware Deluxe: the popups and notifications, when clicked, lead to the parasite’s homepage. Adwaredeluxe.com, the home of this parasite, is filled with copied content, which is often misleading and can be considered an attempt to lure the user into believing Adware Deluxe to be a legitimate an able program. The signs, however, speak for themselves: there is no contact information and there is no legitimate payment system. Adware Deluxe is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block adwaredeluxe.com using your HOSTS file.
