SpyCrush Updates Itself But Is Still a Rogue

SpyCrush came out back in February. It and SpyLocked were making the rounds as the latest fake antispyware programs that infected your computer and then tried to get you to buy them to remove the spyware that they put on your computer. SpyLocked seems to have gone away or turned into SpyLocked, which has been updated. No matter what, don't buy it or use it. It's a scam.

You'll see some or all of the following entries in Hijackthis:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SpyCrush] C:\Program Files\SpyCrush\SpyCrush.exe /h

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SpyCrush 3.1] "C:\Program Files\SpyCrush 3.1\SpyCrush 3.1.exe" /h

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SpyCrush 3.2] "C:\Program Files\SpyCrush 3.2\SpyCrush 3.2.exe" /h
