According to Wikipedia (wikipedia.org),
"Spysheriff Clones
The company that developed Spysheriff has known that people have become more aware of Spysheriff being malware and has created several Spysheriff clones that have different names and styles than Spysheriff, but share the same interface and similar behaviors of Spysheriff. Below is a list of names of Spysheriff clones.
Pest Trap
PestWiper
SpywareNo
SpyDemolisher

BraveSentry
"
Spysheriff/BraveSentry is an illicit program disguised as a spyware protection program. Some people call it the most unpleasant malware/adware. Ironically, it installs itself undetected by many spyware-blocking utilities. Reportedly, the program has been mostly sighted around msnbc.com [citation needed], and users are warned to use extreme caution in dealing with Spysheriff/BraveSentry. While it seems like shareware, suggesting to the user ways in which it supposedly protects a computer, it in fact may yield undesired and hard-to-reverse effects. The program allegedly attempts to convince the user to pay money for software purportedly to resolve problems that may, or may not, exist. Reputable and low-cost or free Antispyware utilities are available, and users are encouraged to read about the issues before selecting one or more of them.
