What is Anti Spyware App?

Anti Spyware App is a new rogue anti-spyware program, a fake spyware remover, which uses trojans, such as the infamous Zlob or Vundo, to enter the system. This parasite relies on misleading advertising (mostly popups and fake system notifications) to persuade the user to buy it's "licensed version".

Once inside and active, Anti Spyware App will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to "inform" him on the existence of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. While this may actually be true (due to coincidence), Anti Spyware App has no ability to detect nor remove any of the infections. This disinformation is used for the sole purpose of tricking the user into thinking he is infected and therefore in need of an anti-spyware program.

There is no information anywhere to be found about the company behind Anti Spyware App, most probably because no such company exists. Neither will you find any contact details. Anti Spyware App is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it's homepage using your HOSTS file.
