Full Name:
 SpyAway
Type: Miscellaneous Security
Also Known As: Spy Away
Danger Level: 6
Category Description: These are usually anti-spyware or security software applications that use various forms of deception and/or unethical means or show a history of negligent false positives to goad the end user to make a purchase.

In some cases these applications maybe downloaded with some form of unwanted software at which point the rogue application is offered to the customer as a way to remove the unwanted software.
Comment: SpyAway gets installed through false Windows alert messages and false Internet explorer warnings shown by a Trojan Downloader. This Trojan Downloader also drops many files masquerading as malware files so that SpyAway can detect them to convince the user believe the computer is infected.
