What is Zinaps Anti-Spyware?

Zinaps Anti-Spyware, also known as Zinaps Anti-Spyware 7.0, is a rogue anti-spyware parasite, and it does the exactly same thing most other rogues do: you find the page, you try downloading it and in the process you get infected with adware. The trial version of the program performs a scan and falsifies the results, spicing it up with worms and trojans and, if you try to clean this mess, you are prompted to buy the full version. Zinaps Anti-Spyware 7.0 doesn’t work, unfortunately.

Once inside and active Zinaps Anti-Spyware will flood you with popups and fake system notifications, seemingly with the good intention of "informing" you that you’re infected, and Zinaps Anti-Spyware just happens to have the perfect solution. There are several problems with this, obviously: first of all, the infection that Zinaps Anti-Spyware displays is most likely non-existent, and this scam cannot fix anything, unless you consider stealing your money as fixing.

    lolz. quoted directly from the zinaps website in the “symptoms of spyware” section:

    Rogue Anti-Spyware

    Rogue anti-spyware applications mislead consumers into believing the software will protect them from spyware when, in fact, these programs are either outdated and offer no protection or act as spyware programs themselves. Many of the “free” anti-spyware programs found on the web are actually rogue anti-spyware programs.

    The term “spyware” refers to a group of malicious programs that invade your privacy and put your computer data, personal information, and even your identity at risk. In the most general of terms, spyware is any program that can be used to spy on your computer and Internet activity. Some applications that fall within the spyware category include tracking cookies and keystroke loggers. Unfortunately, almost every computer with an Internet connection becomes infected with spyware at one time or another.
