I received an email on 18 Aug 2005 with the subject "Spy Sniper Pro" ostensibly from a Marisa P. Salgado. The message is as follows:

Spy Sniper Pro is a protective shield that blocks dangerous and
unwanted Internet intruders on your computer.

After visiting and reviewing the website there were several factors that caused me to doubt the legitimacy of the application. I reported these and the circumstances in a post at Spyware Warrior to bring it the attention of Eric Howes. After review it has been added to the Rogue List. Some further discussion is at the Spyware Warrior blog.
