What is AntispyPro

Posted on 22 December 2007 under Rogue Programs

1. What is AntispyPro?

It is a rogue computer security software (can also be mentioned as AntiSpy Pro), closely related to IEDefeder fake anti-spyware software. This program is a scam and should not be purchased on purpose to get licensed version, thus activating spyware removal function. There are several symptoms how to detect AntiSpyPro infection. Firstly, fictitious PC system security alert may be popping up, which after clicking on it redirects to product webpage in order to download rogue software. Further on, Google and Yahoo search results may be unusual and corrupted, telling that "Your computer is infected" and you may think that a search engine is offering AntiSpyPro as spyware removal tool, and honestly, it's not. It is just another trojan trick.
We recommend to delete AntispyPro immediately. Please see our "How to remove" section.
Also known as AntiSpy Pro 2.4
