This is an example of what you might see if you did have it!!

This site [Spyware-list.com] now matter how real looking is a URL Hijacker and is what we call a scareware Sponsor for Alpha Antivirus a Clone of Personal Antivirus. This is a new scareware rogue antivirus software. It claims that sites have a malware and you need to activate the security software. Doing this will not help you because this is what they call Ransomware, in which you are prompted to buy their software in order to clean your system. If you follow links from these websites you will be directed to buying the software. It has every makings of some old techniques like Yourbrowserprotection.com it is exactly the same.

These sites gets installed in unsuspecting computers by way of exploits, backdoors, Trojans, or unsafe downloading practices. This usually means that if you have it you should remove it by any means necessary because this software has been know to cause more and more trouble as time goes by. This software is fake ware, it tries to tell you have a virus and that they can get rid of it. In fact, this software is not designed with Antivirus engine in it but to illicit pop ups and warning to raise the users security concerns about the computer in question. Downloading programs from bit torrents or other unsafe ways can and most likely will have these types of programs installed alongside the program you wanted.
