How to remove Snipher?
What is Snipher?
Snipher is a rogue anti-spyware program that hit the Net in the mid-March, 2008. It is another faux spyware remover that uses scare tactics to convince the user that his system is infected and to prove the legitimacy of the program. Snipher usually makes it’s way to the computer by using trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo.
Once inside and active, Snipher will flood the user with pop-ups 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 Snipher’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 Snipher’s website and will ultimately be prompted to buy the "licensed version" of the program in order to dispose of the problem.

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