Antispy 2008 is a rogue antispyware application that has deceived many people. On websites where it can be downloaded manually, many promises are made pertaining to its efficacy, but they are never really fulfilled. When it isn’t downloaded manually, Antispy 2008 will secretly infect computers through a Trojan horse.

No matter how it infects a computer, once it is installed it will begin a series of phony security warnings and will attempt to execute a fraudulent scan. The scan results will be entirely made up and will be used to scare the user into paying for the useless “full version” of Antispy 2008. The full version, however, is utterly powerless and isn’t beneficial in any way.

Antispy 2008 file contents:

AntiSpy2008[1].exe
Antispy2008.exe
setup.exe
info.bin
resources.bin

If this rogue has infected your computer, you should have it removed immediately. If you want to remove it manually, you should stop the following processes:

setup.exe
Antispy2008.exe
AntiSpy2008[1].exe

Then, you should delete the following registry entries:

AntiSpy
Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\AntiSpy2008
Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{DA7C0B96-87EF-484A-B67C-EBF12E666C2F}

Delete these files:

c:\\Program Files\\AntiSpy 2008\\Antispy2008.exe
c:\\Program Files\\AntiSpy 2008\\info.bin
c:\\Program Files\\AntiSpy 2008\\resources.bin
AntiSpy2008[1].exe
setup.exe

Finally, you should delete these directories:

ProgramFiles\AntiSpy 2008
ProgramFiles\AntiSpy
AllUsersProfile\Start Menu\Programs\AntiSpy\AntiSpy 2008
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\AntiSpy

This will get rid of Antispy 2008, but it won’t get rid of any other malware that may be infecting your computer.
