AntiSpyCheck Is a Rogue to Avoid

AntiSpyCheck makes a number of claims, including that it scans for spyware and is a pop-up blocker, as well as spam filter. While this sounds good, this application is nothing but your typical rogue security program that makes false claims in order to get the user to purchase the product. As many others do, this one advertises security alerts aggressively in an effort to frighten the user.

These malicious applications usually install through trojans without the permission or knowledge of the user. Most of the time, they may be placed on your computer due to unsafe browsing habits or security loopholes in the browser. However, downloading the free scan many of these rogues offer in order to detect supposed threats will also install it on your PC. AntiSpyCheck is a parasite, and should be removed immediately once detected. (more...)
