Dangers of AntiSpyCheck 

AntiSpyCheck is a piece of fraudulent software that will try and trick you out of your money.  How does it do this? 

By downloading itself (unasked for) onto your computer and then displaying fake security threats.  Once it's scared you half out of your hard drive, it will provide a "solution": the paid version of AntiSpyCheck.

But this isn't its only danger.  It may also: 
      Generate unstable system performance (due to eating up resources)
      Hijack your browser, then redirect or change it
      Install other types of adware, spyware, or other malware
      Compromise your privacy and security 

AntiSpyCheck can be a nightmare to manually remove.  It's best to use a legitimate piece of anti-virus software for the purpose.  Make sure you research the next antivirus software you get, just to make sure it's legitimate!
