Do you know what VsSpy is?

VsSpy sounds like it could be something malicious in nature because of its short name that really does not make any since. VsSpy use to be considered as a legitimate spyware removal tool but it is now classified as a rogue anti-spyware program. VsSpy is normally downloaded manually by computer users seeking a spyware removal tool. To their surprise after downloading VsSpy, computer users find out that it does not actually remove spyware.

VsSpy prompts computer users to purchase a full licensed version of VsSpy in order to remove the parasites in the bogus scan that it performs.

In non-techie terms: VsSpy and the VsSpy.com website are designed to ultimately take your money in return for a usless program. VsSpy and VsSpy.com cannot be trusted. You should not download or purchase VsSpy under any circumstances. It is recommended that you avoid visiting the VsSpy.com at all costs.
