What is a rogue anti-spyware program?

MyContentAssistant is a rogue anti-spyware program.

A rogue anti-spyware program is a program that uses spyware and other deceptive tools to trick you into purchasing their fake spyware remover. A rogue anti-spyware software will install a trojan on your machine to download the software. You’ll know you’re being tricked if you go to a website and an ad pops up that looks like a Windows notification message. Once you click on the ad’s OK button, this will direct you to the software’s website. In other cases, simply by clicking the cancel or close button can start the rogue anti-spyware program’s installation. Often, a rogue anti-spware program will display false positives (nonexistent spyware) when you use their spyware scanner. Some rogue anti-spyware software, like MyContentAssistant will automatically download the trial version without your knowledge.

How do I know I have MyContentAssistant on my computer?

Good question! The first step in detecting and removing MyContentAssistant is by asking yourself whether or not your computer has been infected. MyContentAssistant, as well as other unwanted software, can be difficult to detect and even more difficult to remove but knowing the MyContentAssistant symptoms can start you on the road to having a MyContentAssistant-free computer.

MyContentAssistant Symptoms

If you answer “yes” to any of the MyContentAssistant symptoms listed below, you may have MyContentAssistant or other types of parasites installed on your computer. Keep in mind that the symptoms of MyContentAssistant and other unwanted software infections vary.

MyContentAssistant may monitor your surfing habits. Once installed, MyContentAssistant or other types of parasites can do almost anything. It can tracks which websites you visited or what terms you’ve typed. Spyware uses your information to deliver targeted ads to you. Also, data of your surfing activities may be sold to third parties.

MyContentAssistant may bombard you with popup ads. MyContentAssistant may display annoying popups while you surf the Web. You might have MyContentAssistant or other types of parasites on your computer if you see pop-up advertising, even when you are not on the Web or when your computer has been idle for many minutes.

MyContentAssistant may hijack, redirect and change your Web browser. When your Web browser’s home page unexpectedly changes without your consent or your Web browser suddenly closes or stops responding, you might be infected with MyContentAssistant. Also, in other cases new toolbars appear on your Web browser and you can’t get rid of it.

Slow computer performance. A sluggish computer is one of the easiest signs that you have been infected with MyContentAssistant. MyContentAssistant and other unwanted sofware use your computer’s resources to do its nasty tasks such as displaying popups or tracking your surfing activities. If you see your computer is slowing down dramatically or crashing a lot, you may be infected with an unwanted software.

Help! I have MyContentAssistant. What do I do?

Your privacy has been compromised and you no longer have control over your computer. What do you do? You panic and try to search for the number of a computer repair company? No! The best approach is to find a reliable anti-spyware program to run a spyware check. Once the anti-spyware software has identified the harmful files, you can easily remove all the files with a click of a button.
