Do you know what Antispyware 2009 is?

DESCRIPTION

Antispyware 2009 or Antispyware2009 is an outrageous excuse for an anti-spyware program because it does not remove any spyware as it claims too. Antispyware 2009 is comparable to XP Antispyware 2009 and ProAntispyware 2009 where they all perform similar malicious functions when installed.

Once Antispyware 2009 is installed, either from a Trojan such as Zlob or the Antispyware 2009 website, it starts to display numerous popups attempting to get you to purchase the full version of Antispyware 2009. The full version of Antispyware 2009 is just as useless as the free version.

In non-techie terms: Do not ever trust Antispyware 2009 or purchase the Antispyware2009 program. If you find that you have Antispyware 2009 installed on your system then it would be very wise to proceed to remove it as quick as you can.
