Nowadays it is very hard to imagine our existence in the Internet without various security applications. It is extremely important to have one in order to protect yourself from different infections that spread all over the world web. Unfortunately, there are those people who want to make money in the Internet using illegal methods. SiteAdware (aka Site Adware) is a rogue (or fake) antispyware application that acts like security software but indeed it only tricks users into purchasing worthless license. Moreover, it makes computer work really hard and tremendously slows it down. Countless pop-ups and bogus notifications will be spread all over work windows, informing that your computer is in danger. The most common way of influence though, is fake system scans that SiteAdware will run right after installation. Such fake scans will state that you are infected with numerous viruses, Trojans, adwares, malwares, worms and other malicious files. Please note that all such scans are nothing more but simple scam which doesn’t do any bad to your machine. What is more important is that SiteAdware will also deny the access to various security related websites in order to prevent itself from being detected. This means that while SiteAdware is stored down on your PC, it is very probably that you will not be able to visit the website you want. Instead, SiteAdware will transform you to its official page, where users can find and purchase the license at. Everything has been said: SiteAdware is extremely dangerous software that has nothing to do with computer protection and was created only to steal your money and damage your computer. That is why we highly recommend you to get rid of SiteAdware as soon as possible.
