What is Misleading Product?

Spy Sniper is a type of Misleading Product.

Misleading products are programs that deliberately misrepresent the current security status or condition of a computer. Misleading products usually notify the computer user of a potentially unsafe security risk, unwanted application or infection that is fake or nonexistent on the computer. A misleading product may look very convincing where computer users believe that it is a legitimate security program. Misleading products may use a list of features, websites or even user testimonials attempting to convince a computer user that the program is legitimate. Misleading products have also been known to present a "problem" to the computer user where the issue or problem cannot be resolved unless a certain version of the misleading product is purchased or installed. Usually the purchased version of the misleading product ultimately does not resolve the initial issue or problem.
