image Security HeadLines: ContextPlus has Discontinued Distribution image
CastleCops
Apropos Spyware creator ContextPlus has ceased distribution of their product. A large warning greets you on the ContextPlus website.
Due to concerns over the practices of some of its distribution partners, ContextPlus has determined that it is no longer able to ensure the highest standards of quality and customer care and therefore is discontinuing further distribution of its software.


Apropos contains a kernal-mode rootkit which allows for hidden files, directories, processes and registry keys, once the registry keys are hidden no user mode on the infected system is allowed to access them.

There are many software applications which have the ability to detect these hidden files. In addition ContextPlus is offering an uninstaller for download by emailing support@contextplus.com The message indicates you will get the uninstaller within 24 hours.

** It should be noted we have not downloaded the offered uninstaller. We do not know if it works, we do not know how safe your email address is if you send an email to the above address
