Do you know what ASC AntiSpyware is?

DESCRIPTION

ASC AntiSpyware is a vicsious rogue anti-spyware program that masks as a spyware detection and removal tool. ASC AntiSpyware, like other rogue anti-spyware applications, creates the deceptive situation where it makes you believe that it has found many malware parasites on your computer. This is very misleading and could result in the case of you purchasing the full version of ASC AntiSpyware in hopes that the purchase will eliminate the threats that ASC AntiSpyware found. Let it be known, purchasing ASC AntiSpyware will not alleviate the so-called issues of malware being on your computer.

In non-techie terms:
ASC AntiSpyware is not a program that you want to ever have on your computer. It some cases you may not be able to help that situation because ASC AntiSpyware may be installed through a Trojan such as Zlob or Vundo automatically. If you ever see the annoying popups from ASC AntiSpyware warning you of an infection then it is a clear indication that you must remove ASC AntiSpyware. ASC AntiSpyware is just another fake anti-spyware program that is circulating the internet that must be removed.

Aliases: ASC AntiSpyware, ASCAntiSpyware, ASCAnti-Spyware.
