Name: Misc.WorldAntiSpy Category: Misc Advice: Remove Risk: Elevated Risk Elevated threats are usually threats that fall into the range of adware in which data about a user's habits are tracked and sent back to a server for analysis without your consent or knowledge. Description: WorldAntiSpy is a purported anti-spyware application to scan for and remove spyware from users' computers. WorldAntiSpy is known to be distributed through exploits that also download adware/spyware on users' computers without notice or consent. Once downloaded an icon for the program appears on the desktop and periodically windows for the program pop up on the desktop and display false scan results of spyware supposedly found on the computer as a scare tactic to goad users to pay for the program. It is advertised on web pages designed to look like security sites with false warnings of non-existent malware named W32.Sinnaka.A@mm. WorldAntiSpy may also inappropriately collect personally identifiable information.
