Bully Spyware

I thought I would share this article to help average users identify what problems may be lurking on their machines. I spend a good portion of my day cleaning up student machines that have all kinds of nasty malware/ spyware/ virus activity, most of the time people have no idea (and don't care) that these things are there. They simply state that they can no longer update or that things are working. Well, I read about a new variety of spyware that adds Kaspersky antivirus (obviously an illegal copy) that runs a scan removing all spyware software with the exception of the trojan that it piggy backed on.
