In non-techie terms:
Once inside the computer system, RESpyWare will generate a numerous amount of pop-up system alerts reporting various malware on the user‘s computer system and promotes that the computer user pay for the “Full“ version of RESpyWare as the “most effective“ tool for removal of the exposed parasites.
