How to remove SchijfBewaker?
What is SchijfBewaker?
SchijfBewaker is a rogue anti-spyware program aimed at the Dutch public. It is in no way different that any other fake spyware removal program scam. Their strategy involves using popups and fake system notifications to scare the user into buying the "licensed version" of SchijfBewaker. This parasite usually infects the PC by using Trojans.
Once inside and active on the system SchijfBewaker will proceed to bombard the user with tons of annoying popups and system notifications to inform him of an infection (which probably doesn’t exist). These popups will redirect the user to the "solution", which is no other than SchijfBewaker. Supposedly, by using the full version of the program, the user would be able to dispose of the non-existent threats – an obvious lie if I ever saw one.
SchijfBewaker.com’s IP is based in the Netherlands, the contact address of the registrant is, however, in the US, which seems rather strange. Do NOT trust this program: do NOT download or buy it and block SchijfBewaker.com using your HOSTS file for maximum protection.
