AV AntiSpyware

AV AntiSpyware (AV AntiSpyware) is a fake anti-spyware application similar to MS AntiSpyware 2009. It is possible that AV AntiSpyware is a clone of MS AntiSpyware 2009 but either way they are both very bad programs that you should never voluntarily install.

AV AntiSpyware may come from a Trojan infection such as Zlob or Vundo where AV AntiSpyware is installed without your permission. AV Antispyware may even come from the malicious www.av-antispyware.com website. AV AntiSpyware will start to scan your computer or prompt you with popup messages after it is installed. The messages from AV AntiSpyware or the Trojan that installs AV AntiSpyware, cannot be trusted as they are all bogus. AV AntiSpyware will not remove or detect spyware, Trojans or any other type of computer infections so you should not use AV AntiSpyware. Instead, removing AV AntiSpyware should be a goal of yours before it causes damage to your computer.
