Remove W32/Netsky-P. Description and removal instructions

 
Title: W32/Netsky-P

Type: Malware
Severity scale:W32/Netsky-P severity is 80  (80 / 100)
 
W32/Netsky-P is a fake threat, used by the rogue anti-spyware program KvmSecure, to disinform users that they are infected and are therefore in need of a spyware remover. The misleading message looks like this:

“Spyware Threat. Your computer is infected with Spyware: Adware.Win32.Agent.rf, Packed.Win32.NSAnti.r, W32/Netsky-P. Remove All Spyware”

If you encounter a similar message, do NOT trust it - it's a scam and should be treated as such.
