Spyware Blogging And Information

What is Spyfader?

No one seems to know!

I am sure Spyfader is currently infecting more computers than we think. From research on the Internet, if Spyfader is seen, then there is certain demise for your hard drive or system. It is recommended to back up your Documents immediately. For Spyfader to be around for so long, (at least 3 years) there is still no good information about it. It is clear however, that all who have been infected by Spyfader have had subsequent problems with their computers and hard drives, mostly intermittent and sudden crashes. This is a very unusual aspect of Spyware, if that is in fact what Spyfader.exe is. As you know spyware generally does not intentionally crash a computer.

Spyfader and Windows XP

Just this past week I began to have a problem with Spyfader on a desktop using XP. All major antivirus programs, and several major Anti Spyware programs did not even recognize or report on Spyfader after investigating the hard drive. I’m beginning to think this Spyfader.exe will be filed in with UFO’s, the Jersey Devil or Bigfoot, Sasquatch and Yeti. Does Spyfader really exist? Did they really see it. Was it created at Area 51?

Brief Spyfader Appearences

I can tell you that for a fact I saw a window that said it was closing Spyfader.exe! The window revealed itself for only about a second and clearly said Spyfader.exe. Had I not been looking directly at the screen display, it would’ve been missed totally. This seems to be close to the experiences of all who have been infected by it. Some have also seen Spyfader briefly in their Windows Task Manager.

So today I finally had time to do further research on Spyfader.exe (Been working on trying to salvage a good computer) and to no avail. That is, I have had no success in results for my investigation on Spyfader and/or the salvaging of the good and expensive computer. No one seems to know what Spyfader is! Why not? It seems that everyone who has reported seeing this Spyfader has been questioned as to whether they actually saw what they saw. “The UFO Syndrome”

Companies in Great Britain (UK) now see about a 60% reduction in Malware and Spyware Infections over 2 years ago. This Spyware reduction data is a result of a survey conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). The Business related Malware-Spyware survey was at the behest of the Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform posted in a press release by the Infosecurity conference this week in London. Further details of the report will be released next week.

But this is not to say it’s time to relax. In the press release Chris Potter says, “…virus protection. Only a tiny minority of companies don’t take this area seriously. The message from this survey is clear – if you haven’t got anti-virus and anti-spyware software, you’re way outside the benchmark.”

The report states that only 14% of UK companies reported a malware infection last year, down from 35% two years ago when the last ISBS survey was carried out. Even among very large businesses, [Read more →]
