How to remove MaxAntiSpy?
What is MaxAntiSpy?
MaxAntiSpy is a new rogue anti-spyware program – a fake spyware remover, which uses trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo, to enter the system. This parasite uses misleading advertising to get the user to purchase it’s "licensed version", which is also fake. MaxAntiSpy is targetted at the Russian-speaking public.
Once inside and active, MaxAntiSpy will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of the existence of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. While these threats may exist, MaxAntiSpy has no ability to detect or remove them, thus it’s claims may be considered disinformation, which is used to create a reason for the user to purchase an anti-spyware program.

Then, MaxAntiSpy offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, MaxAntiSpy 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.
