How to remove AntiSpyBoss?
What is AntiSpyBoss?
Antispyboss (also known as AntiSpywareBoss) is a new infection emerged in this January, 2008. This rogue is not a new one - it is a clone of MalwareAlarm and uses a fake payment system created for its predecessor.
The PCs are infected using malicious trojans or by downloading AntiSpyBoss from its website, www.antispywareboss.com or even from porn sites. It is not clear if these sites are infected or if they belong to the authors of this malware.
After a system scan, this rogue displays fake warnings about parasites, for example a Trojan-downloader.VBS.Agent.fe or others. However, these Trojans either came with AntiSpywareBoss or were the cause of infection. The free version of this malware refuses to remove the threats and you are redirected to bucksbill.com - a carding system used by other malware to get your credit card info and rip you off. They can’t even do this well - after a closer inspection one can determine that this site is fake as AntiSpyBoss is too.
You should remove Antispyboss as soon as you can to prevent further infection of your PC and your privacy. The removal of AntiSpyboss is not much different from other corrupt anti-spyware pests, however you should scan your PC for other parasites that might have come with this threat.

AntiSpyBoss is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only AntiSpyBoss can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads AntiSpyBoss trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, AntiSpyBoss offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, AntiSpyBoss does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.
Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as AntiSpyBoss, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install AntiSpyBoss, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as AntiSpyBoss, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
