MaxAntiSpy is a new rogue anti-spyware program targetted at the Russian market. This parasite is essentially a corrupt spyware remover, which uses trojans, such as Zlob, to enter the system. MaxAntiSpy uses misleading advertising (popups, fake system notifications, falsified system scan reports) to create a reason for the user to purchase it's "licensed version".

MaxAntiSpy is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block MaxAntiSpy.com using your HOSTS file.
