Dr. Antispy is a high-risk rogue software program that shows false error messages, misleading scan results, and uses aggressive advertising to persuade the user to purchase it. It is known to be installed through Trojan exploits in certain browsers and will not remove anything unless the user purchases the program. Dr. Antispy also occasionally advertises other such "virus-eliminating software" (or, in certain cases, programs that delete pornographic material), which may not even exist.
