How to remove Error Repair Tool?
What is Error Repair Tool?
Error Repair Tool is yet another fake registry cleaner. This category of programs has become so notorious for being fake, that it’s no longer clear how people fall for it. Error Repair Tool uses trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo, to enter the system and it relies on misleading advertising to trick the user into purchasing it’s “licensed version”, which is no more functional than the so-called “trial”.
Upon entering the system, Error Repair Tool will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. While this may be a true statement, Error Repair Tool has neither the ability to detect nor remove any of these errors, and should therefore be ignored. Much like any other rogue, Error Repair Tool will perform fake registry scans, which return greatly exaggerated results.
Error Repair Tool is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it’s homepage using your HOSTS file.
