Examples,
Orbasoft Antispyware was the answer to my computer bug problems and it was certainly worth every penny I spent to have this great antispyware to protect my PC. Not only does it work great but it cost less than many of the other scans available.
When you are searching for antispyware there is one that you can always depend on, it’s called Orbasoft Antispyware. The antispyware solution from Orbasoft can provide you with a scan that can find and clear your computer of all the same bugs that the more expensive scans can a much lower price. You can’t beat that, keep your computer running great for less. Visit their site at…

I tried the free trial version on a virtual machine.
The first update did not complete. The second attempt was successful, ran a scan. Both the short and the long one produced the same results.
Any security program can and does produce false positives but this program flagged way too many items as “threats”.
Meanwhile AntiVir detected a bad file I had saved.

Given the hype surrounding this program I decided to run it, and to be honest the results are scary.
The average user will simply download, scan, pay the fee and hope to ‘fix’ the threats found. But this is an antimalware application, why is it scanning the registry to remove valid, and sometimes necessary, legitimate extensions?
The average user does not have the knowledge to deal with this sort of thing and accept at face value that it will remove malware from their machine.
What this proposes to remove is really quite a scary thought!
orbasoft.com is a scam website distributing a rogue anti-spyware program that reports hundreds of fake alerts.. this company must be reported to the EU authorities.
I agree with Frank. This fake antispaware software actually crashed my PC 2 days ago. I had to pay $150 to restore my computer operative system. orbasoft.com is a scam website for real. The scan results scare the shit out of you to push you buy the full license but eventually the “award winning” orbasoft rubbish will crash your PC… BEWARE!!! PS: I looked up into the sites that allegedly awarded a 5 star award to orbasoft.com.. I could not find any information about those awards on the issuing websites… it smells like double SCAM to me!!
