How to remove Advanced Cleaner?
What is Advanced Cleaner?
Advanced Cleaner isn’t advanced and it doesn’t clean anything either. Simply put, Advanced Cleaner is a fake security program, which relies on trojans, such as Vundo, to enter the system, and uses misleading advertising to trick users into purchasing it’s “licensed version”.
Upon entering the system, Advanced Cleaner floods the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. This information doesn’t necessarily have to be false, but it is most definitely based on nothing. Advanced Cleaner is a rogue anti-spyware program and as such it performs fake system scans, which produce falsified results, oftentimes containing false positives. It might also hijack the browser and try to trick the user into purchasing it by redirecting him to various websites hosting online scans.
This program is no more than a scam, which will give you nothing besides a slow system and tons of popups. Do NOT download or buy it and remove Advanced Cleaner immediately upon detection.

Advanced Cleaner is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only Advanced Cleaner can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads Advanced Cleaner trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, Advanced Cleaner offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, Advanced Cleaner does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.
