Do you know what USAntispy is?

DESCRIPTION

USAntispy is none other than a rogue anti-spyware program. After looking researching the source of USAntispy it was found that it was created by the same group of hackers that created Active Antivir, which is another fake anti-spyware application.

USAntispy may be heavily advertised on a malicious site as an application with powerful firewall and awardwinning virus detection. The false advertising of USAntispy even goes as far as to claim that it was developed in the laboratories of NASA. The truth of the matter is, USAntispy is a complete hoax and not able to provide any type of effective protection and security services for your computer.

In non-techie terms:
Once USAntispy is installed, it will display several popup messages that warn you of an infection and then it could automatically scan your computer further misleading you. It is best to avoid downloading and installing USAntispy. If you notice that USAntispy is installed on your computer then you must not purchase it under any circumstances.
