External information from Paul Collins:

  • "AdDestroyer" definitely not required. Like VirtualBouncer, malware from Spyware Labs. It is distributed by the same bundling and drive-by download techniques as the malware it claims to remove/prevent, so definitely qualifies as unsolicited commercial software in itself. It also has an update feature that can download and execute arbitrary code

Important: Some malware camouflages itself as AdDestroyer.exe, particularly when located in the c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder. Therefore, you should check the AdDestroyer.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
