What is pest-trap?

Question

I keep getting it on my computer and my anti-virus/spyware/adware does n't seem to be able to stop it.
How do I get rid of it? it won't let me delete it in the usual way.Help!

Why does my antivirus/spyware/adware not detect it and put it inquarantine as it does with other viruses? Once in quarantine do I leave them there or delete them?

Answer 1

Pest Trap is a corrupt anti-spyware program that uses false positives. It does not actually detect parasites, but targets harmless system and software objects as threats in attempt to trick the user into purchasing the full version of Pest Trap. The application itself is a clone of the infamous SpySheriff rogue and similar programs such as SpywareNo!, SpyDemolisher and Spyware-Stop. Pest Trap is an unsolicited program. It may harm your system and violate your privacy!
