How to remove AntiSpySpider?
What is AntiSpySpider?
AntiSpySpider is a rogue anti-spyware program, which has surfaced on the web in the middle of March, 2008. It is, essentially, a fake spyware remover, which uses scare tactics to convince the user that his system is infected and to prove the legitimacy of the program. AntiSpySpider usually makes it’s way to the computer by using trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo.
Once inside and active, AntiSpySpider will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections on the system. These threats are most likely non-existent, but that’s beside the point, since AntiSpySpider’s goal is to misinform the user so that he would believe he is infected. At one point or another, the user will be redirected to AntiSpySpider’s website and will ultimately be prompted to buy the “licensed version” of the program in order to dispose of the problem.
AntiSpySpider’s homepage is surprisingly nicely done: the layout is somewhat different than usual and there are no random logos. That being said, the content in the website consists of the typical mix of fear-mongering and self-praise. There is no contact information to be found anywhere and the domain is registered to “Pablo”, who has the following telephone number: “Tel. +999.999999999 ” – rather interesting.
AntiSpySpider is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block AntiSpySpider.com using your HOSTS file.

AntiSpySpider 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 AntiSpySpider can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads AntiSpySpider trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, AntiSpySpider offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, AntiSpySpider 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 AntiSpySpider, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet.

It then proceeds to download or even install AntiSpySpider, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as AntiSpySpider, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
