How to remove Rogue.WinSpy?
What is Rogue.WinSpy?
WinSpy is a rogue anti-spyware parasite (do not mistaki it for a remote administration tool of the same name) that infiltrates systems with the help of trojans and/or browser security exploits. Once inside, WinSpy proceeds to harass users with misleading security notifications, stating that their systems have been infected by spyware.
If you click on any of these pop-up baloons, WinSpy will start a counterfeit scan of your hard drive. The reports of this scan will show a number of false and exaggerated errors (that are mostly harmless files created by WinSpy) and offer you to purchase the full WinSpy version. DO NOT buy this program! It is a known malware parasite and may even spread other malware threats into your system.
For maximum security, be sure to block acesoft [dot] com ( their IP address is 64.65.215.32) with your HOSTS file, as it is the WinSpy creator website.
