Do you know what AntispyDeluxe is?

DESCRIPTION

AntispyDeluxe, also know as Antispy Deluxe or AntispyDeluxe 7.3 is one of the latest fake anti-spyware programs messing with internet surfers. AntispyDeluxe makes it difficult for computer users to trust honest programs because it looks like a legitimate spyware removal tool. AntispyDeluxe should be called a deluxe waste of time and money because it serves no good purpose.

AntispyDeluxe prompts fake popups and system alerts in an attempt to get users to purchase the full expensive version of the AntispyDeluxe program. AntispyDeluxe may be installed onto your system through the nasty Vundo Trojan or Zlob Trojan infection without your permission. AntispyDeluxe and the Trojan that may have installed it should not be taken lightly as it will continue to make your life on your computer a living hell.

In non-techie terms: AntispyDeluxe was designed by the same hackers that develop and promote other rogue anti-spyware programs on the internet. AntispyDeluxe uses certain tricks and deceiving messages to get you to purchase the AntispyDeluxe program. AntispyDeluxe is a waste of money and you should not download or purchase AntispyDeluxe under any circumstances.
