Dangers of Personal AntiSpy Scam
Personal AntiSpy may be not able to infect computers on its own or delete your files; nevertheless it is dangerous computer parasite because it targets your money. PersonalAntiSpy uses misleading advertising techniques to trick people into downloading Personal AntiSpy software and then it requires purchasing a license. The software is presented as a security tool; it manipulates the need of computer security. The advertisements of Personal AntiSpy offer testing a computer for possible threats. Although there are both “Yes†and “No†options on the pop-ups, user is redirected to Personal AntiSpy website no matter where on the adds he clicks. The websites distributing PersonalAntiSpy state your computer is infected and suggest downloading a trial version to clean up the mess. The offers should be declined for two reasons. There is no way to check your computer from a website without your consent, so you can be sure the infection reports are fabricated. The second reason is even more serious. If you browse websites that sell Personal AntiSpy carefully, you will see that they distribute keyloggers as well. Do not be tricked by Personal AntiSpy advertisements and do not download this application!
If downloaded and installed, Personal AntiSpy is very difficult to delete. It sticks on a computer because it is a malware. It loads large numbers of pop-ups urging user to purchase a license of PersonalAntiSpy. If user pays for the full version, he still receives pop-ups, because Personal AntiSpy is not an anti-spyware and it doesn’t work as one. It can load pop-ups, slow down internet connection and computer performance. Sometimes it may keep redirecting you to malicious websites, but it’s no good for computer protection. Personal AntiSpy is a scam and it should be treated accordingly to its actions.
