SpySheriff, also known as BraveSentry, SpyDawn, SpywareBot, SpyAxe, SpywareSheriff, Pest Trap, SpyTrooper,[1] Spywareno, and MalwareAlarm,[1] is malware that disguises itself as an anti-spyware program, which attempts to mislead a user into buying the program by repeatedly informing them of false threats to their system.[2] The software is particularly difficult to remove from machines,[3] since it nests its components in System Restore folders, and also blocks some system management tools. Compared to most rogue antiviruses, SpySheriff prompts the user to register when an attempt to "Remove found threats" is made. However, SpySheriff can be removed if the user already has anti-malware tools on the machine, or, if not sufficient, owns a rescue disk. WebsitesSpySheriff was formerly hosted at www.spy-sheriff.com, which operated from 2005 until it was shut down in 2008.[4] Several typosquatted websites have also attempted to automatically install SpySheriff, including a fake version of Google.com (called Goggle .com), or spysherrif.com. Also, websites named after the alternative names of Spysheriff also hosted it before they too were shut down. As of 2015, Goggle.com, which had changed ownership due to a lawsuit by Google, was a survey scam. The website displayed links to Amazon.com items but as of 2017 the domain is no longer accessible as there is nothing on its HTML data other than the word "goggle". At the beginning of 2018, the site redirected to the scam site tango-deg.com, but as of October of 2018, it has a simple HTML markup with a top-level heading written "Goggle.com Inc."
