Looking for information on Yokbar? This piece of rogue (fake) anti-spyware is convincing with its tactics. The only thing that was questionable was the name of the program. I found myself asking, what is Yokbar? What happened to the days of rogue anti-spyware naming themselves something really obnoxious like MalwareInfector2009? If you are thinking about purchasing this program don't do it.

Yokbar originates in China. The program can be found selling for as little as tabindex="-1" style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; overflow: hidden; height: 256px; width: 100%;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" name="0. This is a huge change from the days of rogue anti-spyware charging as much as 2 or 3 times the market value, a smart move on their part. The program claims to remove everything with an automatic fix. You don't even have to run a scan. It acts as a toolbar while you are surfing the net. Everything you do will be observed through the toolbar and sent back instantly to the main server and then fixed if it needs to be fixed.

This all sounds like a good idea, if it were a reputable program. There is very little known about this program at the moment except that it doesn't offer any protection. If you are looking for the latest in anti-spyware technology-this isn't it. It is just another way to observe your every move while online. Whoever collects your information is putting your identity and money at risk to 3rd party affiliates. You may find yourself more vulnerable to pop-ups and aggressive advertising.

If you are looking for a reputable anti-spyware program, do some research. The TuCows Awards are like the Oscars of software. Very few spyware programs have won awards here. This is because even if they work, they don't always work that well. It just isn't enough to find a program that covers 90% of the malware. By leaving just one file, you are prone to regeneration. Look for a company that offers a 100% - 24 hour removal guarantee.
