MagicAntiSpy is a misleading antispyware program that scares and urges users into purchasing its full version. Once inside your computer, MagicAntiSpy will issue fake messages that your machine is suffering from spyware attacks. However, these messages shouldn’t be trusted because the makers of MagicAntiSpy just want to steal your money. Even if the full version is purchased, the program may not be able to remove real spyware threats. Beware that MagicAntiSpy may be secretly installed without your knowledge or consent through various security vulnerabilities in your Internet browser or via Trojan parasites. Additionally, you may experience difficulties with MagicAntiSpy if trying to remove it manually. The reason is that MagicAntiSpy tends to renew itself automatically. MagicAntiSpy is very similar to Bravesentry, Dr.Antispy and SpyShredder.
