How to remove DeusCleaner?
What is DeusCleaner?
DeusCleaner is the rogue security program of November 22, 2007. It is supposedly a tool that removes Internet records, prevents spying, cleans the hard drive so it doesn’t contain unnecessary files, so, generally it’s a program against privacy intrusions. In reality it is no different from any other scam of the same nature.
DeusCleaner makes way to users’ systems by manual download and installation as opposed to infection via trojans. Once active, it allows the user to make a scan (or something resembling one) and falsifies the report so it contains a great number of potential privacy risks. Then it assumes the user is intimidated enough and tries to make him pay for the full version in order to dispose of the threats. Those gullible enough to believe in DeusCleaner’s effectiveness will end up losing money on a bogus program.
The homepage of DeusCleaner is surprisingly legitimate-looking and doesn’t contain many give-aways of the true nature of the program, aside from, maybe some that don’t necessarily spring to mind as alarming, such as the fact that there are 3 "download" buttons on the front page alone, probably to "get under users’ skin". One could also notice the general tone of speech, which is essentially not required to market a legitimate product. Of course, there is the omnipresent lack of contact information, which is always a great way of spotting a scam.
Don’t download or buy this program. If you have already, delete it and block deuscleaner.com in your host files.
