How to remove MalwareMonitor?
What is MalwareMonitor?
The new rogue security program is: MalwareMonitor and it can only be installed manually. Even moreso than writing about these useless programs, it must be a pain to create new names for them day after day. They’re all exactly the same: MalWarrior, MalwareMonitor, MalwareWhatever-the-f-else, and it’s not just the name either – the program itself is exactly the same too. Released on October 5, 2007, Friday (in the hopes that it wouldn’t be noticed over the weekend with everyone being lazy), MalwareMonitor is yet again something to look forward to buying, no other tool has been quite as effective against spyware, it’s so good, it can cure cancer…Well, if throwing your money away into the void is a way to remove spyware, than it is all true.
MalwareMonitor is strangely similar to DrAntiSpy, which has the primary function to suck money among other things. This cut-edge tool by the name of MalwareMonitor is very annoying, because when entering the download section of its homepage, you get a free adware program, which tries to be intimidating and constantly repeats in its never-ending pop-ups, that you have spyware, adware(well, hell yes you do!) and other malicious software on your system. Pressing on these pop-ups will lead you to MalwareMonitor, which will give you a free scan, falsify the results and try to make you buy the full version in order to remove the threats, which don’t exist.
As always is the case with these programs, the homepage is comedy gold. This one has an eerie resemblance to a rogue security program from a day back (MalWarrior): it has the same logos and the same mathematical issues (39.95 – 20%=29.95 . You get a D-), as well as others. For example, 10% of 59.95 is 49.95. I wonder. It also has the same pickup line as MalWarrior, seemingly by Barney, The Purple Dinosaur: "If you’re unhappy, we’re unhappy… then MalwareAlarm’s unhappy. And, that just simply will not do." Notice, the part with "MalwareAlarm". Wait. I thought this was MalwareMonitor. You get an F this time for copy pasting from another bogus program. Grammar issues are always nice: "YOU COMPUTER IS INFECTED." This one leads me to believe this is an ebonic program: "Yo Computah Is infected." Great fun. Of course, you don’t get any contact information other than a form, which you can fill up and the website will suposedly send it to the vendor.
I have said this before and I will say it again: Do NOT purchase this bogus tool and block MalwareMonitor.com in your host files. If you have it already, remove it.

MalwareMonitor 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 MalwareMonitor can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads MalwareMonitor trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, MalwareMonitor offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, MalwareMonitor 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 MalwareMonitor, 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 MalwareMonitor, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as MalwareMonitor, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
