That is by saying the computer is infected, even tough the system is perfectly clean. Worst of all, these malicious antispyware even install trojan horse in victims’ computer - in order to remove that, victim must purchase the license.

You can guess it - one easy way is by using affiliate marketing. That’s how they can market these programs to thousands victims worldwide.
