SpywareNo! is a purported anti-spyware application to scan for and remove spyware from users' computers.
SpywareNo! is known to be distributed through exploits that also download adware/spyware on users' computers without notice or consent. SpywareNo! typically shows an icon in the sytem tray that pops up with a false warning that the computer is infected with spyware. Scan results report false positives in order to frighten the user into paying for the program.
SpywareNo! belongs to a family of similar applications including SpySheriff, PestTrap, SpyDemolisher, SpyTrooper and SpywareStop.
