What is ErrorRepairTOOL?

ErrorRepairTOOL is a fake registry cleaner, which employs malicious tactics to make sales of it’s just-as-fake “full version”. This parasite typically enters the system by using the Zlob trojan, which can be found in various websites (usually porn/warez) disguised as a video codec.

Upon infiltrating the sytem, ErrorRepairTOOL will flood the user with misleading information, claiming that his registry has potentially dangerous registry errors. While it is highly likely that there are, in fact, errors in the user’s Windows registry (much like in any other system), ErrorRepairTOOL has neither the ability to detect, nor take care of them. The rogue will also try to trick the user by performing fake registry scans and hijacking the browser.

ErrorRepairTOOL is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block errorsrepair.com using your HOSTS file.
