AntiSpywareMaster is a rogue anti-spyware program from the same developers as AntiSpywareExpert. Once installed, AntiSpywareMaster will scan your computer and display a variety of false positives and fake results, which can only be removed if you purchase a license of the software. The problem is that the infections found are all legitimate programs being falsely labeled as malware. For example, AntiSpywareMaster flags the C:\Windows\System32\loghours.dll file as Dialer.Sexprovider. In reality, though, this is a legitimate Microsoft Windows file.

Do you know what AntiSpywareDeluxe is? DESCRIPTION AntiSpywareDeluxe is a rogue application that pretends to be a security scanner program for your computer. We find AntiSpywareDeluxe to resemble many fake anti-spyware programs in the way it alerts users of Trojan infections through popups and system alert messages. AntiSpywareDeluxe is similar to the previous AntispyDeluxe rogue program which falsely claims to be “the best anti-spyware ever”. AntiSpywareDeluxe may be installed through a trojan infection on your computer such as Zlob or other various security exploits. AntiSpywareDeluxe.com is the website that the AntiSpywareDeluxe program may direct you too after the system scan has been completed. AntiSpywareDeluxe.com may be malicious and cannot be trusted no matter how good the site looks. We believe AntiSpywareDeluxe was ultimately designed to rip people off and waste their time.
