Be very aware this is a spoof anti spyware package, it will trick you into installing it to get a free scan, and downloading it's software, it then dumps advert popups on your system which are near impossible to remove. It took my friend and me over 10 hours to do a manual removal, and that ment big tinkering with the Registry... there is a removal tool available online but it don't work trust me.
