How to remove SafetyKeeper?
What is SafetyKeeper?
SafetyKeeper is a rogue anti-spyware created by the same hackers who are to be blamed for developing thousands of other cyber threats. Scammers spread Safety Keeper using Trojans, worms or other malware but you can also download it after being tricked into a free (and fake) online PC scan.
Once SafetyKeeper infects the system, users are continuously subjected to the “scan” and various popup alert messages about how low the PC protection level is. Don’t be intimidated by these notifications because all the worms, trojans and other malware are imaginary. In order to remove the non-existent threats, users are pushed into spending their money for the “registered” version of SafetyKeeper, which is not recommended due to the fact that SafetyKeeper is useless, and also because of the malicious nature of the program. Use reputable security applications to remove SafetyKeeper before it settles down in your PC.

As soon as the victim downloads SafetyKeeper trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, SafetyKeeper offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, SafetyKeeper 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.
