Do you know what AntiSpySpider is?

DESCRIPTION

AntiSpySpider is a vicious rogue anti-spyware program that masquerades as a legitimate spyware removal application. AntiSpySpider produces many annoying popups and system messages attempting to let you know that you are infected with various parasites. AntiSpySpider is installed through a Trojan infection, usually Zlob or Vundo Trojan. The Trojan infection that installs AntiSpySpider may have come from a video codec download or a warez download site.

AntiSpySpider’s purpose is to get you to throw away $40 on a worthless program. AntiSpySpider and the website AntiSpySpider.com is no good and is an outright scam.

Aliases: AntiSpySpider, Anti Spy Spider, AntiSpySpider.com

In non-techie terms: AntiSpySpider and AntiSpySpider.com has a set goal programmed by hackers to extort money from you through its illicit tactics. AntiSpySpider should not be treated as a spyware removal tool but as an infection that must be removed immediately. Do not under any circumstances fall victim to AntiSpySpider antics that try to get you to purchase AntiSpySpider. It is recommended that users do not purchase the AntiSpySpider program or visit the AntiSpySpider.com website at all costs.
