Spyware Information: KillAV.m
This application is a firewall killer. Firewalls are applications that prevent outside software from breaking in, and also prevent any software that is already running on your computer from making unauthorized contact with the Internet. Firewalls are important tools in protecting you from attack and from being spied upon. Firewall killers are very dangerous, because they silently defeat the safeguards you assume are protecting your computer, and they open you up to attack from many areas.
