Antispyware Soft, often referred to as Anti-Spy Soft, is a rogue fake anti-virus application usually planted on computers by hackers or criminals using a Trojan horse program or by tricking users into downloading and installing the malware utility. The fake anti-virus program produces false malware detection warnings, annoys you with prompts to purchase a utility to remove infections and prevents legitimate applications from running. Antispyware Soft masks itself from most anti-virus programs and can be difficult to remove. Consequently, if your computer has an Antispyware Soft infection, you must use some specialty tools to remove it.
