How to remove MalwareScanner?
What is MalwareScanner?
MalwareScanner is a new rogue anti-spyware program, a fake spyware remover, which uses disinformation to lure users into purchasing it’s "full" or "licensed" version. Unlike most rogues, MalwareScanner has to be manually downloaded and installed in order for the scam to work.
The catch with this parasite is rather simple: MalwareScanner’s trial version offers a system scan, which generates false possitives (legitimate files, recognized as threats); to remove these "threats", the user has to purchase the full version of the program, which is no more functional than the trial, albeit it may pretend to disinfect the supposedly malicious files.
MalwareScanner is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block MalwareScanner.com using your HOSTS file for maximum protection.

Then, MalwareScanner offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, MalwareScanner 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.
