AntiSpy Safeguard can also be downloaded from malicious websites or it may come bundled with other malware such as Trojans.

Have a friend that has antispy safeguard on his laptop and I am trying to help them get rid of it. Thanks for your help.

I have just been ripped off about $250.00 I got an alert that my computer was about to crash a few days ago and the only way I could save it was to purchase this AntiSpy Safeguard so I did. When I went to my computer today I coulsnot use it until I sent them another $99.00. What can I do?
