What is MedicCop?

MedicCop specializes in nothing else but in reporting fake viruses that are expected to scare victims and encourage them into purchasing its license. The truth is that this license is useless thing just like the trialware of Medic Cop and it is not worth any dollar it asks to pay for the installation. Just like Anticare, MyClean or Av-Clean Korean rogues, this rogue anti-spyware has no spywares’ detection or removal engine, so you should only remove this program once detected and forget about the statements that you need to register it.

The way how Medic Cop is distributed should be known for those who have had any of numerous roguewares that exist on the cyber world. Such viruses get on a computer through the use of backdoor trojans or apply browser hijackers for their secret distribution which is done after insecure website is entered. Then, once on board and active, Medic Cop classically displays fake alerts and runs bogus system scanners all of which report the detection of malware on the compromised PC.

Do not get scared by Medic Cop and its pop-up ads that are expected to push you into installing and purchasing commercial version of it. Moreover, do not click on them because you will let more malwares inside. It’s critical to stay away from Medic Cop “recommendations” and its malicios domain mediccop.co.kr. Remove this scam instead! If left on the PC, Medic Cop may slow your computer down or steal personal information which is stored there. When removing MedicCop, you will never find the entry on add/remove program of Windows. So, get a reputable anti-spyware program or an autmatic removal tool from this website and delete MedicCop.

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

Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as MedicCop, 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.
