How to remove ErrorSafe?

January 10th, 2008

What is ErrorSafe?

ErrorSafe (a WinFixer, WinAntiVirus clone) is a rogue anti-spyware and registry fixing application that uses intrusive adware infection to promote its software. This program gets on your system via Trojans and internet browser flaws – the adware program displays a deceptive Windows-like alert message which prompts the user to install Error Safe.

The alert is really a pop-up advertisement for ErrorSafe. The pop-ups of ErrorSafe are relatively hard to remove, becase the adware program that generates them can evade detection and removal. When active, ErrorSafe floods the user with popups and fake system alerts, warning the system is infected. The trial version of the program is not of capable to remove the infections, thus you are asked to purchase the “full version” (which is a fake) to remove these threats. This is a scam – do not fall for it!

Never visit errorsafe.com (66.244.254.63) and block it immediately using your HOSTS file.

ErrorSafe 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 ErrorSafe can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads ErrorSafe trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, ErrorSafe offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, ErrorSafe 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.

Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as ErrorSafe, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install ErrorSafe, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.

Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as ErrorSafe, is nearly impossible to remove manually.

Numerous undesirable and annoying pop-ups: A typical Rogue Anti-Spyware parasite keeps track of your internet browsing habits, sending your browsing history data to remote servers, owned by third party companies that use this information to advertise their products via numerous pop-ups, toolbars, hijacked homepages and spam letters. All these undesirable advertising methods are used on the victims of Rogue Anti-Spyware.
Changed or new icons: Sometimes, Rogue Anti-Spyware installs unwanted software to a victim’s PC without user’s knowledge and consent. This may lead to slower PC performance and stability, as well as more unwanted programs you can't remove.
