What is Antispyware 2008?
Antispyware 2008 is a rogue anti-spyware program and a clone of Antivirus 2008. This parasite makes use of trojans, such as the infamous Zlob or Vundo, to enter the system, but can also be downloaded and installed manually.

While this information may actually be true (by mere coincidence), Antispyware 2008 has neither the ability to detect nor remove any of the infections. The point of this false info is to convince the user he is infected and therefore in need of an antispyware program, more specifically, Antispyware 2008.
Another way to fall for this scam is downloading the trial, which produces a falsified system scan report and asks that you pay for the full version in order to dispose of the non-existent threats.
