SPYWARE: SpySheriff
This signature detects the install time behavior of SpySheriff. SpySheriff hijacks the desktop, changing the desktop to display a warning message. The warning message tries to persuade a user into using the antispyware software it installs, which is SpySheriff. If the user opens Spysheriff, the warning message continuously reappears. SpySheriff can update itself periodically.
