What is PC Doc Pro?

PC Doc Pro pretends to be a reputable registry cleaner which is promoted on various websites to “hunt down registry problems, glitches, and other corrupt junk files” from every computer. However, in reality it is a fake optimizer which will announce hundreds of invented errors detected even a machine is completely new. PCDocPro seeks to make people purchase its completely useless full version, as the optimum variant for the users who “don’t want to waste their valuable time waiting for the PC repair”.

PC Doc Pro is known to be promoted on such malicious domains like pcdocpro.com, spydocpro.com or spyresearchcenter.com where people are offered to check their computers for free. It may also happen that Trojan infections will also try to install this badware into your PC, so keep your security software up to date to avoid this malware.

Once installed, PC Doc Pro looks like a legitimate application and starts analyzing the whole system of the PC. This scam will definitely “detect” hundreds of spyware and will report about them for a user. All these actions will be continued hundreds of times to make people concerned about the “problems” they have and push them straight away into making a purchase. Note: all the errors reported by PC Doc Pro are fake, so be calm if it starts popping up on your desktop. Delete PC Doc Pro instead!

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

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


How to tell if your PC has been infected by a Rogue Anti-Spyware such as PC Doc Pro?

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.
