Win Spyware Protect

Is this piece of software a rogue or what ever? Also will Superantispyware remove it, if not whats the best way to remove it.

 

WinSpywareProtect is a rogue anti-spyware program, which, not unlike any other, infects the system by using trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo, and uses popups and fake system notifications to prove to the user that he has a problem and needs a program to dispose of it, the program being WinSpywareProtect. These are, of course, completely fallacious statements, and are produced with a sole purpose: to scam the user.

WinSpywareProtect is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block WinSpywareProtect.com using your HOSTS file.

Hit it with SAS then a scan with MBAM should get you clean.
