SpyBouncer

SpyBouncer

SpyBouncer is a commercial anti-spyware application developed by SRC Technologies for the Microsoft Windows operating system.

SpyBouncer has been listed by Spyware Warrior as a "rogue anti-spyware" program for its use of aggressive advertising and deliberate false positives. [http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm] Particularly noted is the use of typosquatting sites such as "goggle.com" to promote the software, using advertisements which misleadingly suggest that the viewer's computer is infected when it is not. [http://spywarewarrior.com/viewtopic.php?t=6537]

It has also been described as reporting the Windows Registry keys set by other anti-spyware programs as spyware, causing upwards of 200 "infected items" to be detected on a clean system. [http://spywarewarrior.com/viewtopic.php?t=4634] SpyBouncer then requests that you purchase the full product to remove the 'spyware' on the computer.
