How to remove SpywareCleaner ?
What is SpywareCleaner ?
SpywareCleaner is a rogue anti-spyware program – essentially, a fake spyware removal tool that employs scare tactics, such as pop-up security notifications to intimidate you into buying its "full" version. SpywareCleaner usually makes it’s way to your computer by using Trojans, such as Zlob, disguised as video codecs and browser helper objects.
Once inside, SpywareCleaner will proceed to harass you with numerous pop-ups to supposedly "inform" you of an infection. These pop-up will lead you to the solution: the "full" version of SpywareCleaner. Then, you will be prompted to pay for the licenced version in order to dispose of the imaginary threats. This "full version" as they call it, is a fake and is incapable of any security tasks. Moreover, there may not be an infection on your system to begin with (except for SpywareCleaner, that is).
Spywarecleaner.com is a generic rogue spyware removal website with the same copied phrases, the same mix of fearmongering and self-praise and, most importantly, the same lack of contact information. The "company" behind SpywareCleaner provides us with a mailing address, albeit hardly intelligible, but fails to give an email address. Such attempts at lame anonymity are obvious signs of a scam, which means you should remove SpywareCleaner ASAP if you’ve caught the infection.
