January 22nd, 2009

What is Adware Eradicator?

Adware Eradicator is a new rogue adware remover, which essentially means it’s a fake adware remover, which uses illicit methods both to spread and to sell itself. Adware Eradicator usually enters the system by using the Zlob trojan, which the user may find in malicious websites, typically – porn or warez – in the form of codecs. The other way of getting infected is by manual download and installation.

Once inside and active, Adware Eradicator will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform the user of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. While this may coincidentally be true, Adware Eradicator has neither the purpose nor the ability to detect or remove these infections, and is, in fact, an infection itself. Adware Eradicator might hijack the browser and redirect the user to websites of dubious nature, and may provide a system scan, which produces a falsified report.

Adware Eradicator is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it’s homepage using your HOSTS file.
