Total Antispyware

Posted: March 12, 2009

Total Antispyware, or TotalAntispyware, is a rogue anti-spyware program and may have installed on your computer via a Trojan found on fake video codecs, such as Zlob. You may have also downloaded Total Antispyware's trial from a malicious website thinking it would remove your spyware infections.

Total Antispyware is not a legitimate spyware remover and therefore, it's not able to detect nor remove any malware from your system. Once infected, you'll receive numerous misleading popups and Windows Security Alert notifications which make you believe your system is infected with malware. However, keep in mind that Total Antispyware is a rogue and all that it issues is false malware results. Total Antispyware is also able to emulate a computer system scan and then throw a list of supposed spyware infections. These infections are imaginary and are created by Total Antispyware only to scare you and push you to buy Total Antispyware's full version.
