How to remove AntiTroy?
What is AntiTroy?
AntiTroy is yet another new rogue anti-spyware in the seemingly-endless WiniSoft family. This parasite is no different than any of it’s predecessors either design-wise or tactics-wise. AntiTroy typically enters the system by employing the use of various trojans, and relies on misleading information to trick users into purchasing it’s so-called “licensed version”.
Upon entering the system, AntiTroy does what any rogue would do: it floods the user with popups and fake system notifications, claiming his system is infected. These popups link to the purchase page of AntiTroy. This parasite also performs fake system scans, which mark harmless files as threats, and ask that the user pay for the “activation code” of AntiTroy in order to dispose of the detected threats. Disregard this information – AntiTroy has neither the ability to detect nor remove threats.
This program is a threat and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and remove AntiTroy as soon as possible.

Manual AntiTroy removal
Important Note: Although it is possible to manually remove AntiTroy, such activity can permanently damage your system if any mistakes are made in the process, as advanced spyware parasites are able to automatically repair themselves if not completely removed. Thus, manual spyware removal is recommended for experienced users only, such as IT specialists or highly qualified system administrators. For other users, we recommend using automatic spyware removal applications found on 2-viruses.com.

AntiTroy 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 AntiTroy can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads AntiTroy trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, AntiTroy offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, AntiTroy 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 AntiTroy, 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 AntiTroy, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as AntiTroy, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
