Protect Your PC from Sniper Spy

Spy Sniper description

Spy Sniper is a fraudulent system application that pretends to be a legitimate anti-spyware program. It is usually distributed online with the help trojans and fake codecs.

Once Spy Sniper gets into the system it performs fake system scans and pretends to find various security threats such as explorer.exe which is a vital process and if removed would cause the system crash. It also promotes the “full version” of the program, which promises to clean and protect your system from viruses and other security treats. However, Spy Sniper is not an actual anti-spyware, just a cheap imitation made to steal money from the unsuspecting users. It is strongly recommended to remove Spy Sniper upon detection.
