What is Malware Cleaner?

Malware Cleaner is a rogue anti-spyware program that pretends to be a legitimate security software. The rogue is advertised on various malicious and dangerous websites, through the use of trojan viruses. Malware Cleaner is usually installed without user’s knowledge and permission, that’s why it is categorized as unwanted software. The main goal of this parasite is to scare the user into purchasing this absolutely worthless application.

Once installed and active, MalwareCleaner uses various misleading tactics. Firsly, it performs fake scan and floods the system with annoying and bogus security alerts or similar notifications about spyware and malware infections. These security alerts are very similar to Microsoft’s Windows Security Center notifications. Unskilful users may easily confuse those fake notifications with the real ones. Secondly, Malware Cleaner may decrease system performace and disable your antivirus software. The rogue then offers infections removal assistance, but not for free. User has to purchase Malware Cleaner in order to remove all found infections. However, this program only mimics reliable anti-spyware applications, so obviously it won’t help you to remove anything. That’s why we suggest you to ignore all those fake notifications and to remove Malware Cleaner from the system as soon as possible.
