MagicAntiSpy is yet another dangerous rogue anti-spyware threat on the Web. The most likely ways of MagicAntiSpy infection are browser security holes and trojans. As soon as your system gets infected by a MagicAntiSpy, you start getting countless pop-up notifications which claim that you have been infected with spyware. This is not the case, as MagicAntiSpy is spyware in and by itself. It will try to use scare tactics on you by showing fake security messages and offering to buy the full MagicAntiSpy version to fix these imaginary errors.
