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?

I recentely got rid od spy sheriff using system restore in safe mode, and thank god, because I got a BSoD using every other method. Anyway, can it be proven that using safe mode system restore always works, or was I just

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. 1017: 873: 661: 968: 935: 244:
Actually..... Boot in safe mode, Spy Bot Search and Destroy, Adaware SE, final registry input. Complete removal, along with probably any other trojans on your computer.

The "The system has been stopped to protect you from Spyware" appears to relate to SpywareQuake, not SpySheriff. I'm looking for a reputable source to back this up
