Severity scale:

(80 / 100)

PyroAntiSpy infects computers through Zlob, Vundo and similar trojans. It loads large amounts of pop-up messages and system tray alerts trying to scare people with fabricated infection reports. The main purpose of this annoying behavior is to gain a purchase by convincing victims that Pyro Anti Spy is a security tool.
Do not trust Pyro AntiSpy! It can neither locate nor erase computer parasites because Pyro Anti Spy is a malware itself. It may download and install other parasites on the compromised machine. Remove PyroAntiSpy as soon as possible.
