MS AntiSpyware 2009, from the same family as Pro AntiSpyware 2009, is another phony anti-spyware program. MS AntiSpyware 2009 is advertised through Trojans and shows fake security warnings and pop ups telling you that your PC is infected so that they can trick you into buying their phony software.
Once the user is infected, he/she may receive numerous and deceiving popup messages stating that the user's computer is infected with spyware. This is a very common tactic used by other rogues to trick users and urge them to purchase the "full" version of the program from a malicious website.
In addition, MS AntiSpyware 2009 may create "malware" files to later detect them with its fake computer scan. All links provided by MS AntiSpyware 2009 will most likely redirect users to MS AntiSpyware 2009's homepage (MSAntiSpyware2009.com) to further purchase MS AntiSpyware 2009's full version.
