Adware Punisher is evil

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.
