How to remove PCSweeperPro?
What is PCSweeperPro?
PCSweeperPro is a new rogue anti-spyware program – a fake spyware remover, which infects the system by using trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo. PCSweeperPro is no different than any other rogue, since they all rely on the same or very similar principle: 1)they infect the system; 2)they try to intimidate the user into buying their "full" or "licensed" version.
Once inside and active, PCSweeperPro will start flooding the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly informing him of an infection or multiple infections on the system. These claims are most likely false, but their goal is to disinform the user and to create a reason for him to require an anti-spyware product and thus to get bought. PCSweeperPro’s "licensed version" is no different than the trial (if such a thing exists), it’s scan reports may contain false positives and it may use other methods of spreading disinformation aswell.
PCSweeperPro doesn’t seem to have a legitimate payment system and neither is it possible to find any reliable contact information of the company’s employees. PCSweeperPro is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it’s homepage using your HOSTS file.

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