The people who made Msantispyware 2009 are telling probably the oldest lie in the business—that Microsoft created their program. In fact, Microsoft did not make this software, and they don’t make this kind of software. Microsoft is just an easy target for fraudware, and Msantispyware 2009 is just the latest in a long line of them.
Just what is Msantispyware 2009, anyway? It’s a rogue security tool; a bundle of spyware with a skeleton program pretending to be antispyware software. Should you ever get it, don’t kid yourself into believing that you can buy it, remove the spyware and salvage the antispyware kit.
They didn’t put this software together to be useful on any level. By trying to get and keep the antispyware part of Msantispyware 2009, you have only wasted money and exposed yourself to identity theft. Save your money, and buy a real antispyware product.
Exposure to Msantispyware 2009 happens on infected websites and downloading infected software. You click an infected button, and the Trojan Zlob Downloader sends you the first wave of spyware. First, you get a pop up telling you that your computer is infected with potentially thousands of “malignant files.” Spyware has gone from scanning your temporary files and telling someone else what they are to telling you that these same files are infected.
The next thing is that it redirects your computer a la Browser Hijacking to its website. You may notice that the web address isn’t Microsoft’s. That’s because Msantispyware 2009 isn’t a Microsoft product.
Now, it will say that if you buy the full version, you can clean up this infection. Here’s where the real trouble comes in. If you enter your credit card information, you’re lucky if you just spent $50. They could clean out your entire account.
Besides, this is just not how Microsoft does business. First of all, if Microsoft put out an antispyware program, it would be available on their website. They would advertise it. It also wouldn’t cost you anything.
They also wouldn’t just jump in and tell you that you got an infection. Any real antispyware program would keep you away from the page where you got infected. That is, assuming that they know the page is infected.
It’s a sad thing, but there’s no sure way of knowing that a web page you’re on is infected. Sometimes the URL doesn’t match the title, but sometimes it does. Sometimes it’s adult content, but Msantispyware 2009 has its own website, which seems innocent enough. It could well be on a site that you could play video games at. There’s just no telling.
Also, you can catch this program from downloading infected material. This malware can be caught on peer to peer file sharing communities, by downloading pirated software. Between the legal risks and the risk of malware infection, Internet piracy is just not worth the trouble.
If you’re exposed to Msantispyware 2009, this much is true. You need a new antispyware program, because your current one just failed you. Look for something in a 100% removal guarantee.
