SPYWARE: SpywareStrike
This signature detects the runtime behavior of SpywareStrike. It is rogue anti-spyware software, cloned from SpyAxe. It can be downloaded free from www.spywarestrike.com. This Web site is not a legitimate company. Once running on the affected machine, it keeps popping up warnings and security threat alerts, indicating that purchasing their program can clean these warnings and alerts. However, the program does nothing and even opens additional security holes on the user's machine.
