Some of these sites really need to be removed. For example, I've heard that "www.goggle.com" and "www.toggle.com" both try to download SpySheriff without user consent-so why are they in the external links? Like someone else said, "Considering the number of sites that can be infected with this malware

Is this section really necessary? Considering the number of sites that can be infected with this malware and the fact that WP readers might access such sites out of curiosity, I'm in favour of removing it. I'm not sure of WP policy regarding such things, however, so I'll leave it in until I find out

OK, I've started a clean-up and marked everything I couldn't find evidence for on major AV sites with citation needed. Please can someone find evidence to back-up these claims if they are true, or as I suspect, if they are caused by different malware, can they be removed?

Hi, this page is for request from editors over article editing issues. If you wish to discuss the software, I expect that there are appropriate forums on the internet but
Knowledge is not one of them..
241:
No ad-ware or virus program can remove SpySheriff, and therefore is specifically dangerous. The only reason I got it removed is because I did a system restore, before thinking to restart my computer.
325:'s website contradicts the sentence that the uninstaller causes BSOD crashes. None of these reputable sites mention that it blocks system restore, so we should not state that it does.
