A Spyware Expert- A HOAX
Hi,
My computer has had spyware for a while and so my computer "automatically" downloaded a program called Anti Spyware Expert(ase). It kept telling me there were suspicious files on my computer. Well it turns out none of i was true, and that ASE was the spyware. According to this site and many other sites it says you have a bunch of viruses and then tells you to purchase the registered copy to delete them. You then pay for nothing. So if you have downloadd/are considering downloading ase DON'T! Just warning you. It was a huge pain for me.

I've also heard about one called Spy Sheriff that poses as an anti-spyware, but it is the spyware. People can get loads of your info from it
That's my PSN ID. I know tons of COD4 glitches. Add me as your friend. Oh, and get a headset
