AdwarePunisher is another form of Spylocked and SpySoldier. It is a rogue anti-spyware parasite that sneaks into a victim’s computer after a Trojan-caused backdoor creation. AdwarePunisher starts displaying unsolicited popup advertisements and imaginary security risk messages, then offers the victim to purchase the “product” to protect the system from further intrusions. However, AdwarePunisher does not feature any real protection and is a parasite by itself.

There are two ways to get rid of this virus, the easy way and the hard way.

The easy way is to download and install Spyware Doctor.

The hard way is to delete all the files and registry keys manually. If you want to to it this way, go to this page [Win32 Removal of Adware Punisher malware] to see all the files you need to touch.
